Default Point me in the right direction...

Here's what I have.

A member receives 100 points for every day they're registered.

A member receives 1 point for every post they make.

Days registered + total posts = Total Points.

I want to write something that will give a member MONEY if they have a certain number of Total Points.

So if they have between 1000 and 1200 Total Points, they receive $200 dollars.

Now I was able to do this and have it written but this is where I get into a problem and I can't figure out how to go about solving it.

A member would receive that $200 dollars ONLY if they're ONLINE and while they were online, reached 1000 Total Points.

Since a member receives 100 points every day they're registered, if they're not ONLINE on the day they have 1000 Total Points, they don't get that $200.

How can I make it check to see if a member has the required Total Points and give them the associated MONEY if they're not online?

It works great when they're online. Use the DB function and write it to the database.

If they're not online, it obviously cannot know who and when to update in the database.

I was using the code I wrote in functions.php and then I realized members who are not logged in when they reach a certain # of Total Points will not be able to receive their MONEY. They must be logged in.

How can I get around this? I'd like to write a routine that goes through the entire user database and checks their Total Points and if it falls between amount 1 and amount 2, give them x amount of money BUT ONLY ONCE say, at midnight of every day.

Possible? If so, what direction do I need to go to make it happen.

Syl...
