What is the ruling on participating in a mobile company's competition that relies on exchanging points earned from consumption for questions to enter a draw for prizes?

There is no objection to benefiting from promotional offers and accumulated points provided by telecommunications companies to customers; they fall under the ruling of discount cards. However, expending points to enter competitions and raffles is impermissible, as it constitutes prohibited gambling, given that these points are owned by their holder and possess value.
