REWARD OFFER RESOLUTION

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

AWARDS

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

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

Awards provided by the myLoyalty scheme are credited to the consumer’s wallet as commerce balance. Due to the fact that commerce balance is conditional (and can be consumed only on purchase customer 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 contacts to spend their awards.

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

SPENDS

Spend represents an amount that will be deducted from the consumer's wallet, when a consumer requests to pay for a purchase using available wallet funds. Spends can be classified as conditional, where consumers can spend awards on specific conditions or unconditional, where consumer can spend awards without meeting any conditions.

A different approach applies for each spending model:

• Auto Spend Requests

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

• Spend Instantly

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

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

How consumers are awarded and how they can spend their awards

Award events are actions taking place outside CRM.COM, such as purchase 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 of events are evaluated against reward offers. The evaluation takes place either directly at the point of sales (where the purchase is registered) or through subsequent processes that handle multiple events and award them in one flow. Following a positive evaluation, the reward engine proceeds with the creation of an award transaction, which generates a credit wallet transaction, adding funds to the wallet of the participant. 

Participants 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 spend request evaluates if there are sufficient funds in the wallet of the participant, then a spend transaction is created which in turn generates a debit wallet transaction, that deducts funds from the wallet of the participant.

Awarded 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 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.

Managing contacts

CRM.COM provides businesses the ability to view and manage contacts participating in their reward schemes. Navigate to Contacts > My Contacts. Search for a contact using their name, surname, registered contact code, telephone or email. Select a Contact to see their details.

Contact Accounts

When a contact has signed-up to a Business’s reward scheme, a primary account and a wallet is automatically created, where each award/spend will credit/debit the wallet balance accordingly. A system user can perform various actions to manage a contact’s account:

Account Actions – the actions you can perform on the account

• Modify Classification - Group similar types of Contacts for segmentation or pricing purposes

• Suspend - Accounts can be temporarily suspended in case of a dispute or while running a credit check

• Terminate - Terminated accounts are no longer operational and the status cannot be reversed

• Statement - View a Contact’s financial transactions for a selected time period

Wallet Actions – the actions you can perform on wallets

Wallets

A wallet is an account which keeps an amount 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 commence balance is 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

Each reward offer is evaluated real-time based on dedicated events (e.g. purchase, referral, time), given that the specified target conditions are met and each award will be eligible to be spent based on the spend method/rules.

REWARD OFFER RESOLUTION

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

REWARDS

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

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

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 a reward is expired, a reward expiration transaction is created and the relevant amount is deducted from the Contact’s wallet balance.

SPENDS

Spend represents an amount that will be deducted from the Contact's wallet automatically, when the spending criteria are met during a purchase. Spends can be classified as conditional, where Contacts can spend rewards on specific conditions or unconditional, where Contact can spend rewards without meeting any conditions.

A different approach applies for each spending model:

• Auto Spend Requests

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

• 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 Contact will be able to spend their 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 rewards

Reward events are actions, such as purchase transaction or a friend referral. 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 reward them in one flow. Following a positive evaluation, the reward engine proceeds with the creation of a reward transaction, which generates a credit wallet transaction, adding funds to the wallet of the Contacts. 

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 spend request evaluates if there are sufficient funds in the wallet of the Contact, then a spend transaction is created which in turn generates a debit wallet transaction, that deducts funds from the wallet of the Contact.

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. 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.
