Earning Rate On Purchases

Any number

This number reflects the rate at which purchases translate into balance type units, for the cinemas or items selected in this override.

If the Earning Basis is set to Item values, the earning rate is the number of units credited to this balance type per unit of currency spent by the member on affected items.

If the Earning Basis is set to Item values and ticket redemptions, the earning rate is the number of units credited to this balance type per unit of currency spent by the member on affected items including the value of redeemed tickets.

If the setting Use Quantity is cleared, the earning adjustment is the number of units credited to this balance type every time the member purchases an affected item.

Redemption Rate On Purchases

Any number

The exchange rate at which balance type units may be converted to currency, for the cinemas or items selected in this override, when the units are used as a payment type at POS.

For example: to allow members to spend ten units in place of one dollar, enter a Redemption Rate of 10.

This setting determines how Vista calculates points earned:

Item values - the Earning Rate will be based on the value of items purchased.

For example: 10 points per dollar spent on items.

Item values and ticket redemptions - the Earning Rate will be based on the value of items purchased and any ticket redemptions.

For example: 10 points per dollar value of items purchased and tickets redeemed.

Note: This option is only available if the Item Group is set to BOX OFFICE.

Item quantities - the Earning Rate will be based on the quantity of items purchased.

For example: 10 points per item.

See Earning Rate.
