Report Highlights
The range of rewards is important to make the scheme attractive to all levels
of spenders. A program with fantastic rewards will not be attractive to a low
spender if $10,000 needs to be spent before a reward can be claimed.
Whilst chip based systems are ideal for large multi retailer schemes, they
might not be a realistic option for a small issuer which might not be able
form a big loyalty scheme or afford to re-equip a chain of partner merchants
with new POS terminals.
Just as important as the rewards themselves is the opportunity for cardholders
to accumulate points to be able to claim these rewards. The easier it is for a
cardholder to amass loyalty points, the more attractive the program will be to
a broad range of consumers.
