Welcome to Writing.Com, Douglas Thomas. Even many seasoned members find new things about WDC each day. Keep poking into the nooks and crannies--you'll get things figured out.
You might check out "Gift Points" and the Recommended Readings at the end of this entry for more on the use of gift points. Simply put, everyone uses them differently. Some offer GPs when they do a review; many don't. Some offer GPs to reviewers who take time to offer constructive feedback on their work. The amount of GPs varies from person to person. There is NO set formula.
WDC's Reference Guide, "Writing.Com 101" , provides a lot of information on the workings of the site. Check it out as you have time.
