Third-Party Loyalty Programs Cost a Fortune

Paytronix charges $250-$500+/month. Toast Loyalty is a paid add-on. Square Loyalty starts at $45/month and scales up. These costs eat into the very margins your loyalty program is supposed to protect.

And most of these platforms give you basic points — no tiers, no punch cards, no gift cards, no referral tracking. Your loyalty program should be driving revenue, not becoming another line item.

  • Paytronix: $250-$500+/month for full loyalty suite
  • Toast Loyalty: $50-$75/month add-on with limited customization
  • 5% increase in customer retention leads to 25-95% increase in profits — Bain/Harvard

Everything You Need to Build Loyalty

A complete loyalty and rewards platform — points, tiers, punch cards, promo codes, referrals, gift cards, and more.

Points System

Earn points per dollar spent or per visit. Flexible earn rates by location, time, or item. Customers redeem for rewards you define — discounts, free items, exclusive experiences.

Tier Levels

Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum — or name them anything. Each tier unlocks perks: priority reservations, birthday bonuses, exclusive menu access. Members are motivated to level up.

Punch Cards

Digital punch cards — buy 9 get 1 free, or any configuration. Multiple punch cards per customer. Perfect for coffee shops, bakeries, and quick-service concepts.

Promo Codes

Create targeted promo codes for segments, events, or campaigns. Track redemption rates, set expiration dates, limit usage. Integrate with SMS campaigns for instant distribution.

Referral Program

Members earn rewards for referring friends. Track referral chains, set bonus thresholds, and gamify word-of-mouth marketing. Average referral programs generate 15-25% of new customer acquisition.

Gift Cards

Digital gift cards with custom branding, email delivery, and balance tracking. Sell online or in-store. Gift cards drive 2.4x the original card value in total spending.

Birthday Rewards

Automatic birthday detection from customer profiles. Send personalized offers 7 days before the date. Birthday campaigns see 3-5x higher redemption than standard promotions.

Enrollment Automation

Auto-enroll from POS transactions, online orders, or reservation bookings. No signup friction. The AI agent can enroll callers during phone conversations with a simple "Would you like to join our rewards program?"

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Points, tiers, punch cards, promo codes, referrals, and gift cards are all included in every plan at no additional cost. There are no per-member fees, no transaction fees, and no feature gates. Third-party loyalty platforms charge $45-$500+/month for features we include by default.
No. Our loyalty program is SMS-based. Customers receive point updates, rewards notifications, and can check balances via text. No app to download, no account to create, no loyalty card to carry. This eliminates the biggest barrier to adoption.
Completely. Name your tiers anything (VIP, Insider, Legend), set custom point values, design your own rewards catalog, and configure earning rules by location, time, item, or event. The system adapts to your brand, not the other way around.
Your AI phone agent can check a caller's loyalty status, tell them their points balance, enroll new members, and apply rewards to orders — all during a natural phone conversation. "I see you're a Gold member with 450 points — would you like to redeem your free appetizer today?"
Yes. Create campaigns targeting specific tiers, point balances, visit frequencies, or custom segments. Send a "double points Tuesday" to Silver members trying to reach Gold, or a win-back offer to members who haven't visited in 30 days. All automated.
Digital gift cards with your branding, purchased online or in-store. Cards are delivered via email with a unique code. Recipients can check balances and redeem via the portal or by providing their code. All transactions are tracked in your dashboard.
