Answer 3

you get points for answering questions and points for getting a right answers from a question you answered than at the end of the year you can get gifts and things

Answer 4

I dont think u get anything, but that would be cool if u did right

Answer 5

If you live outside the USA you get points only - no gifts.

US residents have recently had the opportunity to receive promotional items - water bottles, coffee mugs, etc depending on their points level.

I guess Yahoo doesn't value international participation too much.

But hey - Welcome to the circus!

You do not get gifts for points.  You do get more privileges and  credibility.  

The point system is there mainly, I believe, to encourage answers.  It's at least some recognition.  I think the question cost is there to slow down spammers.
