Tiered stamp card loyalty program in the BonusQR app

Tiered stamp card

More rewards on one stamp card

Instead of one reward for a full card, set 2 to 5 stages – for example 25% off the 5th coffee, a free coffee at the 12th and a mug with your logo at the 25th. Customers always see the next reward and how many stamps they still need.

What is a tiered stamp card?

A tiered stamp card is a stamp card with several rewards along the way. Customers don’t wait for one gift at the end – they reach a smaller reward early and bigger ones as they keep collecting.

In BonusQR, staff scan the customer’s QR code and enter how many items were bought. Every stage the customer reaches issues its own reward coupon, extra stamps carry over, and after the last stage the card starts from the beginning. In the app the customer sees which reward is next and which ones follow.

  • 2 to 5 stages, each with its own reward
  • Customers see all the rewards ahead
  • Part of the Basic plan

Why use a stamp card with stages

Several smaller goals keep customers motivated for longer than one distant reward.

An early first reward

The first stage comes quickly, so new customers experience a reward before they lose interest.

A reason to keep going

Customers always see the next reward and how far it is, so there is always something within reach.

Bigger rewards for loyalty

Keep the best rewards for the later stages – the customers who collect the most get the most.

Familiar for customers

It works like the stamp card everyone knows – just with more rewards along the way.

Simple at the till

Staff scan the QR code and enter the number of items. Coupons for reached stages are issued automatically.

Starts again automatically

After the last stage the card starts from the beginning, and extra stamps carry over.
