Rewards

Rewards programs are promotional offers that give consumers credits for purchasing a product. The credits may be air miles, points, or other incentives. Subscribers can be signed up for a rewards program on the Rewards tab. Payments will generate rewards for programs to which the subscriber belongs. See the Offer Code section of the Setup Manual for more information on rewards.

Setting Up a Rewards Program

To add a subscriber to a program:

Find the subscriber.
On the Rewards tab, click Add.
Select the rewards program and enter the subscriber’s account number in the program.
Click OK to add the subscriber to the program.

Displaying Rewards Information

The subscriber’s current rewards, if they exist, will be displayed on the Rewards tab, in the Reward History area. Each transaction that generated a reward (typically a payment or auto renew) will be shown.

Manually Adding a Reward

Although they are typically generated by payments, rewards can also be added manually on the Rewards tab in Customer Service. This is useful for reward adjustments, or when transferring rewards from some other product or program.
