Loyalty Schemes

A number of different schemes may be set up, which may operate on a points scheme, or by switching to alternative price levels for members' discount prices. Loyalty cards are different to member account cards since purchases made against them would normally be expected to be settled immediately.

Accounts and Cards

Any number of accounts may be set up within each scheme. Loyalty cards may carry the account number explicitly, or may be linked to an account by lookup (the latter allows a lost, stolen or damaged card to be replaced immediately from stock without having to print and encode a new card on the spot). No value is stored in the card itself. An account may be
suspended without having to remove it from the system.

Loyalty Points

In schemes where loyalty points operate, points may be collected by
(a)All spends at the till, at a defined rate e.g. £1 per point, with an
optional minimum spend at any time before points are added
(b) bonus points added when specific items are purchased.

Points may be:

(a) redeemed against goods
(b) (b) redeemed for cash (a legal requirement under the UK Trading Stamps Act)
(c) exchanged for other promotional functions.
Note: the exchange rates in (a) and (b) above need not be the same.
