Earn Rules

Base Earn Rules

Item

Description

Standard

The most simple earn rate. Set a number of points that will be earned and the increments they will be earned.

For example “Get 5 points per £1 spent”

Fixed Points

This configuration allows for a set number of points to be earned per tier.

For example, spend between £1-10 and get 1 point, £11-20 get 5 points and £21+ and get 15 points.

Points per Spend

Set the number of points per spend increment (as per Standard) to be awarded by tier.

For example, spend between £1-10 and get 1 point per £1, spend between £11-20 and get 2 points per £1 spent.

Earn Rate Overrides

Allow for a default base earn setup to be overridden by different rates. This requires an override key to be configured and passed in the earn request.

For example this would allow some consumers to earn additional earn rates for credit card purchases.

Earn Product Exclusions

There is an option against all schemes to include or exclude products from earning base earn points.

Grace Amounts

The ability to set an amount that the qualifying spend can be rounded by in order to reach the next base earn award e.g. when base earn is 1 point per $1 spent, with a 2c grace amount, when the customer pays $1.98, the amount is rounded to $2 and the customer would recieve 2 points.

Rounding Rules

The ability to round up the number of points earned e.g. when points are work $0.005 only award points in even numbers

Rules per Company unit

Configure a child company unit to either inherit the same base earn rules as it's parent unit, or use it's own set of rules.

This is particularly useful if there is a need to apply different rules across multiple brands within an organisational portfolio or across different geographies.

Guard Rails (Earn Restrictions)

The ability to protect your business proactively by enabling earning ceilings using several mechanism such as;

Total Points Earn Limit. Add the maximum number of points that can be earned into points accounts.

Set the maximum volume of UPCs bought that can be awarded Base Earn points. For example; When set to 5 and if a customer buys 7 of the same UPC in the same transaction Base Earn is only awarded for the first 5 items. Useful for B2B retailers like wholesalers or mass market retailers.

Points Limit over a period of time. Set the volume of points and period (Days, Weeks, Months) that a points account can earn. For example, you can set a limit of 1,000 points in a single day to help proactively prevent fraud.

Volume of Transactions that can contribute to Base Earn over a period of time (Day). For example, you can set this limit to 3 and if a wallet has a 4th (or more) transaction no base earn will be applied. This is designed to proactively prevent staff fraud and the volume should be set depending on average customer daily interactions.

Points Offer Types

Item

Description

Fixed Points

Provide consumers with a reward of a fixed number of points. E.g. "Get 100 points when you make any purchase".

Fixed Points Products

Issue a fixed amount of points to a consumer based on a product that is included in their basket e.g. "Get 50 points when you buy perfume".

This is particularly useful as an introductory offer to get new customers engaged in a programme and into a positive points balance.

Fixed Points Basket

Issue a fixed amount of points based on the basket total e.g. "Get 100 points if you spend over £10".

Variable Points Products

This is an offer that is variable dependent upon the products purchased e.g. for every £1 spent on bananas get 5 points or for 50 points for every 2 nights purchased (i.e. book 6 nights get 150 points).

You can also add minimum and maximums to this so up to a maximum of 10 nights.

This can also be combined with Basket qualification so that both are required ie. Spend at least £10 on your total shop and get 10 point for every banana, up to 5 units.

Variable Points Basket

Allow for a variable points amount to be awarded depending on the basket total e.g. 50 bonus points for every £100 spent.

This can also be combined with Product qualification so that both are required ie. Spend at least £10 on your total shop and get 10 point for every banana, up to 5 units.

Points Spend Rate

Create time-limited offers that alter the value of points and the increments at which they can be spent.

For example, exchange 1,000 points for £20 off your shop this weekend rather than a usual £10. It also allows for a points back mechanic e.g. spend 15,000 points or more this weekend and get 2,000 back.

Exchange Points for Product Discount

When points are earnt they can contribute to a % discount off a product.

For example, earn 100 points to get a product free would be 1 point gives 1pc discount.

Basket Points Multiplier

Create offers where the number of points awarded will be calculated from a specified multiplier decimal value and the number of base earn points that the basket value qualified for.

Tiers can also be supported to increase the multiplier value as basket spend increases. e.g 2 x points when there’s a spend up to £100, and 3 x points when there's £100+.

Product Points Multplier

Create offers where the number of points awarded will be calculated from a specified multiplier decimal value and the number of base earn points that the specified products qualified for.

Product level qualifiers can also be configured to apply the points multiplier to the entire basket value. e.g Get 2 x points on your whole basket every time you buy fresh fruit and veg.

Basket & Product Points Multiplier Tiered Offers

Create Offers to be able to give different Basket Points Multiplier and Product Points Multiplier values depending on how much you spend on your shop or how much you spend on a selected set of products.

For example

-Spend between 1000p- 2000p get x2 multiplier

-Spend between 2001p- 3000p get x3 multiplier

-Spend between 3001p- 10000p get x4 multiplier

Universal Coupon Codes

A universal coupon code is a reusable, user-friendly code that can be redeemed by customers at checkout. It can be associated with a single campaign at a time and reused across different campaigns as long as it is not currently associated with any other campaign.

For example

NEXTDAYDELIVERY200 - 200 points for selecting next day delivery

Description

Quest Campaigns

Complete a number of different objectives over a period of time to get a reward. This is an example of a real-life offer:

  • Spend $25 on meat in a single transaction
  • Spend $10 on produce in a single transaction

The ability for a customer to perform a repeat task to be rewarded. For example, Earn 5 stamps and get a free car wash/product/service/coupon/point reward.

Continuity

This offer type allows for the consumer to qualify for the reward over a period of time rather than a single transaction. Qualifiers can be a number of transactions, number of product units or spend amount. These qualification values can be overridden.

For example spend £100 on cosmetics in July and get 1,000 bonus points.

Bolt-on

A bolt-on can be used to encourage a consumer to perform an additional behaviour for an additional reward, but only once the main offer has been earned.
