+Justin Aquino was using something like this in his Modern Fantasy game. We each got 2 points for participation, and then one each to give to another player.

It worked really well. It helped remind me that so-and-so had covered my six when I had to do that risky move, or that I had done some amazing vehicle dodges during the getaway.

I think it helps keep players involved when the spotlight is elsewhere. They are looking for where that point gift should go.
