As of May 28, 2013, Origin has introduced "Origin Points", which purportedly helps track your achievements in some of EA's games on PC.
From EA's help center:
Origin Points help you track your achievements and measure your progress while playing some of our games […].
You get these points naturally while playing your game and getting achievements, but is there any point to these points? Can you spend them on things, or are they just for pride and banter?

The only real answer seems to be, that nobody actually knows. I have accumulated points that I have no idea what to do with. I have trolled forums etc to find out, but to no avail. Seems we will have to wait for Origin to tell us what they are for, and how to spend\use them. In the meanwhile, continue to stack them up.
