# Understanding a customer's loyalty timeline

Read a customer's loyalty timeline — earnings, spendings, admin actions, and the exact reasons an order or review didn't award points.

Every loyalty profile in **Manage Customers** has a **Timeline**. Use it to explain a customer’s points balance and loyalty activity.

#### What gets logged

The timeline can record events from when the customer enters Shopify. This includes non-awarded events before loyalty membership begins.

It records:

* Earnings from every rule that awards points.
* Spendings, including the code and acting user.
* Admin adjustments, redemptions, and membership changes.
* **Not Awarded** events and their reason.
* Personal loyalty pauses and resumptions for B2B company members.

Filter with **All**, **Earnings**, **Spendings**, and **Not Awarded**.

#### Why points were not awarded

**Not Awarded** events explain how earning conditions affected an order or review.

Common notes include:

* `All items in this order were ineligible for points based on your earning rule filters`
* `Some items were discounted and excluded from earning`
* `Review points not awarded — Customer has not purchased the reviewed product`

Check the timeline before treating missing points as an issue. Most entries identify the matching earning condition.

#### Membership History

**Membership History** records membership start-date changes and tier changes.
