    REWARD OFFER

    REWARD OFFER RESOLUTION

    If your Business myLoyalty account has multiple reward schemes and offers, you might be interested in configuring the reward offer resolution which defines how your consumers Contacts will be awarded rewarded in such cases. The default is that a consumer Contact is awarded rewarded on all matched offers.

    AWARDS

    REWARDS

    Award Reward is the amount of money that will be provided to a consumer Contact in the form of cashback when reaching a specific goal (e.g. perform a purchase event).

    The award reward is always a financial amount and can be provided in real currencyreward currency; crediting the consumercontact's wallet. Awards  Rewards based on purchases are calculated based on the total transaction amount (minus instant discount and discount of purchase discountcustomer event).

    Awards can be part of a wallet's open balance or commerce balance. Due to the fact that commerce balance is conditional (and can be consumed only on purchase events); different spend conditions are applied, such as validity (from - to), location, days/time and products (sku, family, brand). Note that the expiration date (validity to) defines the latest date that the award can be spent, motivating consumers to spend their awards

    Every award that is provided will create an award transaction, crediting the consumer’s Note that the expiration date (validity to) defines the latest date that the reward can be spent, motivating contacts to spend their rewards.

    Every reward that is provided will create a reward transaction, crediting the Contact’s wallet with the respective amount. In the event where an award a reward is expired, an award a reward expiration transaction is created and the relevant amount is deducted from the consumers Contact’s wallet balance.

    SPENDS

    Spend represents an amount that will be deducted from the consumerContact's wallet automatically, when a consumer requests to pay for a purchase using available wallet fundsthe spending criteria are met during a purchase. Spends can be classified as conditional, where consumers Contacts can spend awards rewards on specific conditions or unconditional, where consumer Contact can spend awards rewards without meeting any conditions.

    A different approach applies for each spending model:

    • Auto Spend Requests

      • An amount from the consumer Contact available wallet balance will be automatically spent (without the consumerContact's request) during a purchase. As a result, the consumerthe Contact's wallet balance will be debited - so long as the balance is not subject to specific spend conditions (e.g. products).

      • Auto spend requests can be performed on the next purchase at a specific merchant (spending all the available wallet balance), or at specific merchants based on a minimum purchase transaction amount and the available wallet balance.

      Spend Instantly

      • A spend is instantly created for an amount equal to the awarded amount (i.e. the award is spent instantly)

      • The .

    • Spend Instantly

      • A spend is instantly triggered for an amount equal to the rewarded amount

      • The spend amount is applied on the purchase total amount right away

    The consumer Contact will only be able to spend their awards rewards:

    • with online transactions

    • (when Contact pays with a registered card at the JCC POS of a participating Merchant)

    • with cash transactions submitted via the myLoyaltyCash app by the Merchant

    How consumers are awarded and how they can spend their

    awards

    rewards

    Award Reward events are actions taking place outside CRM.COM, such as purchase transaction or a friend referral, or can be associated to data supplied to CRM.COM (such as consumer registration details), for participant birthdays and name days. All types . All types of events are evaluated against reward offers. The evaluation takes place either directly at the point of sales of the Merchant (where the purchase is registered) or through subsequent processes that handle multiple events and award reward them in one flow. Following a positive evaluation, the reward engine proceeds with the creation of an award reward transaction, which generates a credit wallet transaction, adding funds to the wallet of the participantContacts

    Participants Contacts can redeem their rewards by spending their wallet funds, either at their own discretion or subject to conditions (for example, at a specific shop and date/time).  A  A spend request evaluates if there are sufficient funds in the wallet of the participantContact, then a spend transaction is created which in turn generates a debit wallet transaction, that deducts funds from the wallet of the participantContact.

    Awarded Rewarded funds can be subject to an expiration date. If this is the case, the funds are expired through a background recurring process that expires funds in one flow. An award A reward expiration transaction is created, as well as a debit wallet transaction, which deducts the funds from the wallet so that they can no longer be spent.

    Wallets

    A wallet is an account which keeps an amount that holds a sum of money that can be used to fund various transactions within the CRM.COM Software. A wallet is used as a mini ledger that can easily be topped up by various credit events or by awarding a consumer through a Reward offer. The wallet's amount can be spent during various CRM.COM functions such as on spending awarded amounts during a purchase or by spending to external merchants etc. A wallet can be terminated and re-activated but upon reactivation the wallet should have zero balance and no spend conditions. 

    A wallet's balance is presented as a whole but then is differentiated as

  • Open Balance: The balance that has no spend conditions and is added into the wallet through a process irrelevant with Rewards, i.e. topup, transfer from Account etc. This balance an be used on anything including transfer of money out to a bank account or pay an external debit as part of a payment - currently not applicable for the JCC solution

  • Commerce Balance: The balance that has spend conditions and is added into the wallet through a Rewards process (awarding, voucher use etc.). This balance is calculated by aggregating the non-expired, conditional credits which may or may not have specific condition group related. This balance can only be spent as part of a purchase event

    used for purchases at participating merchants. It serves as a mini ledger and can be credited when a Contact is awarded a sum of money through a Reward offer.

    Wallet Spend Conditions

    Wallet spend conditions are used to identify restrictions on how the wallet's available commerce amount, can be consumedspent. Those restrictions are set based on various conditions which includes conditions such as the products, place and time that the amount can be consumed.

    Wallet spend condition groups can affect only the wallet's commerce balance, whereas the open balance is not affected by any conditions. 

    Wallet Commerce

    the place and time that the amount can be spent.

    • The amount to be consumed consumed

    • The days and/or hours at which the amount can be consumed

    • The products which can be bought using the wallet's amount - Note: not applicable for JCC solutionThe locations where the amount can be consumed

For the Online online transactions no action is required by the merchant.

    Cash Transactions

    Cash Transactions take place manually by the merchant via the CRM.COM Cash Mobile Application myLoyaltyCash app. The merchant will be able to identify the participant Contact via a scan of a QR code or barcode within the app, add the total amount and submit the transaction.

    Offline Transactions

    JCC will submit a batch file on a daily basis to process the offline transactions. The file will be uploaded and executed via a kettle created by CRM.COMmyLoyalty. Note that this process runs daily at 04:00 am.

    Communications

    Communications allow a Business participating merchant to notify all, or a group of contacts at predefined times. Communications can be sent in the form of an email , sms or push notification to the consumer appor SMS. Integrations need to be configured in order for communications to be operate.
