Customers Overview.
Introduction to customer accounts and loyalty card collection
As a customer (also called a member), you collect loyalty cards and stamp cards from businesses, earn points and stamps with your purchases, and redeem rewards.
What Is a Customer Account?
Your customer account holds all your loyalty programs in one place. It stores your cards, tracks your points and stamps, and shows your available rewards.
What You Can Do
With a customer account, you can:
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| Collect Cards | Add loyalty and stamp cards to My Cards |
| Earn Points | Accumulate points with purchases |
| Collect Stamps | Build progress toward stamp card rewards |
| Browse Vouchers | Discover discounts and promotional offers |

Shortcuts to common tasks:
- Account Settings — Update your email, password, and preferences
- Request Points — Create a link to receive points from other members
- Enter Code — Enter a code you received to add points to your card
- Refer a Friend — Share your referral link and earn bonus points
How Cards Get Added
Cards appear in My Cards in two ways:
- Automatically — When you first use a program (earn points, collect a stamp, redeem a voucher), the card is added automatically
- Manually — Click Add to My Cards on any card to bookmark it for future use
Your Loyalty Cards
Points-based programs where you accumulate points over time. Points can be redeemed for various rewards at different levels. If you have an earned tier with a multiplier, cards display a badge showing your bonus (e.g., "🥇 2.0×").
Membership Tiers
If you've earned tier status with any business, your tiers appear in a dedicated section. Tiers show:
- Your current status and icon
- Progress toward the next tier level
- Points multiplier (if greater than 1×)
- Which loyalty cards the tier applies to
See Understanding Membership Tiers below for details.
Your Stamp Cards
Punch card programs where you collect a specific number of stamps. Complete the card to earn a reward, then start again.
Your Vouchers
Discount codes and promotional offers you've added or claimed.
Removing and Re-Adding Cards
If you no longer want a card visible in My Cards:
- Open the card
- Click Remove from My Cards
- Confirm the removal
Your progress is always saved. Removing a card simply hides it from view. Your points, stamps, history, and rewards remain intact. Re-add the card anytime and continue where you left off.
Earning Rewards
Earning Points (Loyalty Cards)
- Make a purchase at a participating business
- Tell the staff you have a loyalty card
- Show them your QR code
- Staff scan it and enter the purchase amount
- Points are added to your balance
Earning Stamps (Stamp Cards)
- Make a qualifying purchase
- Show your QR code to staff
- Staff scan and add a stamp
- Watch your progress toward the reward
Redeeming Rewards
Points Rewards
When you have enough points:
- Visit the business
- Tell staff what reward you want
- Show your QR code
- Staff process the redemption
- Receive your reward
Stamp Card Rewards
When you complete a stamp card:
- A "Collect Reward" button appears
- Visit the business
- Show your reward QR code
- Staff confirms and provides your reward
- Your card resets to collect again
Your QR Code
Each card has a unique QR code that identifies you. Staff scan this code to:
- Add points to your balance
- Add stamps to your card
- Process reward redemptions
Keep your QR code handy when visiting participating businesses.
Accessing Cards Offline
Your loyalty cards work even without an internet connection. QR codes are automatically saved to your device when you view them.
Installing the App
For the best offline experience, install the loyalty platform to your home screen:
- On iPhone/iPad: Tap the Share button → "Add to Home Screen"
- On Android: Tap the browser menu → "Install app" or "Add to Home Screen"
- On Desktop: Look for the install icon in your browser's address bar
Once installed, the app works like a native mobile app—launch it from your home screen anytime.
What Works Offline
- Viewing your loyalty cards — See all your collected cards
- Showing QR codes — Your QR code stays available so staff can scan it at checkout
- Viewing stamp card progress — Check how many stamps you have
- Viewing saved vouchers — Access discount codes you've saved
An amber banner appears when you're offline: "You're offline. Showing cached cards." It disappears automatically when your connection returns.
💡 Tip: Visit your cards while connected to the internet at least once. This caches your QR codes for offline use.
Important: Showing your QR code works offline. Staff still needs an internet connection to credit points/add stamps/redeem rewards.
Membership Tiers
Some businesses offer membership tiers that reward your loyalty with bonus benefits. Think of it like airline frequent flyer status or hotel elite membership.
How Tiers Work
Tiers are based on your lifetime points earned, not your current balance. This is an important distinction:
- Lifetime points: Total points you've ever earned (never decreases)
- Current balance: Points available to spend (decreases when you redeem)
This means spending your points doesn't affect your tier status. A member who earned 10,000 lifetime points but spent most of them still maintains their tier.
One Tier Per Business
Tiers work at the business level, not the individual card level. If a business has multiple loyalty cards (e.g., Classic, Premium, Student), your tier applies to all of them. Points earned on any card count toward your single tier status with that business.
When Tiers Appear
You won't see tier information until you've started earning points with a business. Tiers only display when:
- You have earned at least some points with that business
- The business has configured a tier system
- You're viewing cards from that business
What Tiers Show
Each tier card displays:
- Tier name and icon (e.g., 🥇 Gold Member)
- Points multiplier if greater than 1× (e.g., "2.0×" means double points)
- Progress bar showing how close you are to the next tier
- Associated cards showing which loyalty cards the tier applies to
Click any associated card chip to navigate directly to that card.
Multiplier Benefits
Higher tiers can offer points multipliers that boost your earning rate:
| Multiplier | Effect |
|---|---|
| 1.0× | Standard earning (base tier) |
| 1.5× | 50% bonus points |
| 2.0× | Double points |
Multipliers apply to future purchases only, not past transactions.
Where Tiers Display
- My Cards page: All your earned tiers in a dedicated section
- Card detail page: The relevant tier for that business
- Reward page: Reminds you of your multiplier when viewing rewards
- Card badges: Cards with multipliers show a badge (e.g., "🥇 2.0×")
