A points promotion is a way for members to accrue points outside of the usual terms defined by a balance type.
Promotions can be configured at Loyalty > Loyalty Admin > Campaigns > Points promotions.
Promotions are run over a set period. This is either long term (if a balance type doesn't handle a particular scenarior), or short term.
The additional points added to a member's balance as a result of a promotional transaction can be one of these three options:
- A multiple of the points already earned (inclusive).
- An additional fixed number of points per item.
- An additional fixed number of points per transaction.
Note: An earning amount must be allocated to the points promotion as this determines the additional points to add to member transactions.
The promotion points are calculated and added to member balances in the Process Bonus Points job. This is a SQL Server Agent job that is typically scheduled to run every minute.
Example of points promotions
Here are some examples of points promotions:
- Double Points for the Movie of the Week.
- 2 bonus points for purchasing popcorn prior to 3pm.
- 1 bonus point on any transaction during November.
- Add 5 bonus points for spending over $30.
Note: Points promotions can overlap. In that case bonus points will be awarded for all the promotions where the transaction meets the criteria.
