Automatic Points Modifiers

AIQ automatically adjusts a customer's persona points total for various reasons. 

Examples:

  • Two personas merge and the points totals for each persona are added into a single persona with a larger points total. 
  • Your loyalty settings have been adjusted, causing updates to the points/dollar or time period calculated for points accrual.

Block Adjustments

Why Block adjustments Occur

When a customer’s points have a negative value, AIQ deploys a ‘block adjustment’ to automatically adjust that user’s points back to 0. This is to protect you and your end consumers from a negative customer experience. You may turn this off by contacting your account CS rep.

How customers can become points negative

  1. Negative points are detected for a persona
    • How customers can go points negative
      • Persona Un-merges
      • File uploads containing negative points totals for personas (legacy points)
      • Negative points imported from previous loyalty systems
      • Points expiring
      • Changes to points expiration logic
      • Changes to points accrual logic
  2. Your POS integration is removed or updated
    • All Persona data shared from that connection, including transactions, will be removed. 
  3. Other integration changes
    • only a customer’s redemptions may remain available to AIQ if we lose access to an integration syncing persona data. this can create a negative balance AIQ will automatically adjust. 

Other AIQ Performed Points Modifiers

Various points modifiers can be made by AIQ to allow for multiplying the amount of points earned during a purchase, boosting those points, or even give “Zero Points” for specific transactions:

Boosts

  • Points boosts gift the customer a specific set number of points
  • Points boosts can also be given to customers when they enter the “boosted” audience without needing a qualifying transaction
  • Points “gifted” via campaigns are treated as boosts
  • Boosts are given out once a persona is in the audience, they cannot earn a boost again for the same exact audience ID.

Multipliers

  • Multiplies the points earned from a transaction
  • Gifts a variable amount of points, based on the customer transaction total points earned and the multiplier set at the audience level

“Zero Points”

  • The “Zero Points” adjustment blocks customers from accruing points for qualifying transactions that occur while they are in the Zero Points audience or during the time specified within the “Modify points for contacts in this audience” audience settings
