Choose what your customers can earn loyalty points for

In this article:

• What actions can my customers earn loyalty points for?

Overview: The ways that your customers can earn loyalty points

4. Birthdays

Build a loyal relationship with your customers and really personalize their point earning. Automatically send them points to say Happy Birthday and delight them on their special day.

📝 Note: You can set the minimum member enrolment period to ensure that customers must have an account for x amount of months (minimum 1 month) before being able to earn birthday points. This is a fraud prevention measure to prevent customers from creating accounts and claiming birthday points immediately.
