Example of Point Expiration
Consider a customer who earns 300 points on January 1, 2025. The points begin to expire from March 1, 2025, with a one-year validity period:
- If no points are redeemed, all 300 points will expire by March 1, 2026.
- If 200 points are redeemed on May 1, any remaining points (100) will expire on the same date, March 1, 2026.
Handle Expirations
Once the point expiration is activated:
- Points Expiration: The system checks daily for expired points and resets them to zero.
- Email notification: Customers receive timely reminders to redeem points before they expire, enhancing customer engagement and satisfaction. Note: The system sends a warning email 30 days before the points expire and a final reminder 7 days prior if the points remain unused.
FAQ
Q1: How is the validity period of customer points calculated?
A: After activation, the expiration timer starts, and points will expire at the end of the set period. Daily checks reset expired points and notify customers nearing point expiration.
Q2: What happens if I turn off the point expiration feature?
A: Turning off the feature stops the calculation of point expiration, and all points previously issued remain valid indefinitely.
