- Can customers spend points for rewards from a business?
-
Absolutely. Merchants can create and have up to 3 loyalty rewards available for it’s customers at one time. If a customer has received enough points from the merchant to qualify for the redemption, the customer can redeem the reward through their mobile app at the merchant’s location. Once the merchant confirms the redemption on the customer’s smartphone, the customer’s points will be deducted automatically and a history of the redemption is available to both the customer and merchant.
- Can customers spend points they received from one business on rewards from another business?
-
No. That would be unfair to both businesses. Klosebuy tracks the points received from each merchant, and so long as the customer has enough collected points available to use, they can redeem the points received for available rewards.
- Can I offer “Points” as an award for a purchase or in-store visit?
-
Of course you can! Points are extremely popular with consumers. Instead of giving a 20% discount on a $100 item that ends up costing you $20, you can offer points. You determine how many points you would like to offer. Simply choose "points" as the value type when creating a new promo and the value you choose will be automatically awarded to customers when they use your promo.
