Note to Managers:

Ensure that these bonus codes and values are protected and released to your employees only when you are running a Loyalty promotion.

Check your reports on the Merchant Web Portal on a regular basis to ensure that these codes are not misused.

Redeeming points automatically

If your loyalty program has been set up for Automatic Redemption, points are automatically redeemed when a cardholder reaches the configured Reward Threshold Level, and a Reward Coupon prints from the terminal.

Note:     If a cardholder’s points balance surpasses the Reward Threshold Level multiple times in one transaction  (e.g. the Reward Threshold Level is 200 and the cardholder makes a $600 purchase with a Points Earning Rate of $1 = 1 point, meaning they have earned 600 points), the terminal will redeem points for only one Reward and print only one Reward Coupon. In the above example, the remaining coupons will be generated in increments of the Reward Threshold Level during subsequent transactions with the same card.

For merchants participating in the Pro Loyalty program:  If you have set up multiple Reward Threshold Levels, the maximum threshold will be used for the first coupon and for the remaining coupons as long as the points are available. Once the points balance falls below the maximum threshold, the next threshold level will be used.
