FAQ
Q: Does the points cost get taken away from their balance when they redeem a reward?
A: Yes, as soon as a reward is redeemed, the customer's points balance is adjusted - removing the points cost even if they don't use the coupon code in that order. This protects your store by preventing customers from redeeming rewards they are not entitled to.
Q: Can customers redeem more than one reward at a time?
A: Even if a customer has enough points to redeem multiple rewards, they can only use one discount code at a time.
Q: Can a customer redeem their discount code more than once?
A: No, discount codes are unique and only available for one-time use.
