PROGRAM TIERS
How tiers works:
You can customize:
• Number of tiers
• Name of tiers (e.g., Silver, Gold, Platinum)
• Number of visits required to reach each tier
• Program period (see more to the right)
1. Guests earn tiers based on how much they visit in a pre-determined time
period
2. Any excess visits roll over to the following period (e.g., if you visit 5 times
and tier 1 is 3 visits, 2 visits will roll over to the next period)
3. Whatever tier is earned in a period carries over to the next period, but will
drop off in the following period, if not maintained
4. Increases in tier take effect immediately. Decreases take effect at the
beginning of the next period
We often see…
Most programs choose a program
period of 6 or 12 months. This creates
the incentive for guests to continue
visiting and renewing or increasing
their tier
More about program
periods
Program period is the number of
months a guest has to reach the visit
threshold. They work off the calendar
year, regardless of when a guest joins.
This creates consistency for guests
and allows for greater group planning
around earning a tier.

OTHER WAYS TO EARN REWARDS
Welcome Gift
You can set-up a custom
welcome gift for each
location.
Upon joining, the guest
will have the choice of
which ONE gift they
choose (does not have to
be the location they’re
at).
Welcome gifts can be put
on a delay, requiring that
a guest come back in
order to redeem the gift.
All-time visits
Outside of program tiers,
you can also create
rewards that are earned
based on a number of
visits all-time.
For example, reach 100
visits (ever) and be
inscribed on our Wall of
Fame.
Visits can be across
multiple locations, or, to a
single location.
Birthday
You can create a reward
that is only valid on the
guest’s birth date.
Guest’s are required to
enter their birthday in the
app in order to unlock
these rewards, and once
entered, the date cannot
be changed.
Recurring visits
An example of a recurring
visit award is “Get $10 off
every 10 visits”
These rewards are
different from all-time in
that they can be earned
more than once.
Visits can be across
multiple locations, or, to a
single location.

HOW LONG DO REWARDS LAST
A limited usage
award…
A reward redeemable
every visit…
Once earned, is kept by the guest until
it is redeemed or expires.
You can customize your expiration
date on a per reward basis; most
programs set the expiration equal to
the term of their program period (e.g.,
6 month program -> 6 month
expiration from time of earn)
Is valid for redemption as long as the
guest maintains the tier level that
reward is tied to.
You can make an every visit reward
span tiers (aka, once you earn it in tier
2, you keep it in tier 3), or you can
limit it to a specific tier.
This allows you to “sweeten” rewards
like as you move up in tier (e.g., add 1
complimentary taco becomes add 2,
etc)
