Award points for tier promotions

Award loyalty points when a customer is promoted into a membership tier, once per customer or on every promotion, with skipped tiers still paying out.

The Tier Promotion way to earn awards points the moment a customer is promoted into a tier you choose. It turns reaching a tier into an immediate, tangible win on top of the tier's ongoing perks.

Set it up

1

Add the earner

In Loyalty Program → Points, click Add way to earn and choose Tier Promotion.

2

Choose the destination tier

There's a single condition: When a customer is promoted to your chosen tier. The tier they came from doesn't matter, and a customer who jumps past this tier still earns the points.

3

Set the points and frequency

Enter the Points awarded, then decide how often with Only award once: leave it on to award only the first time the customer ever reaches this tier, or turn it off to award every time they make this move, including earning the tier back after being demoted at a period recalculation.

4

Write the customer note

The Customer note is the reason for the award, and it appears on the customer's loyalty point history, for example 100 points for reaching Gold.

5

Name the tile and activate

Set the Display name and Description shown in the loyalty widgets, keep or replace the icon, and set the status to Active.

Create one Tier Promotion earner per tier you want to reward, each with its own points.

What counts as a promotion

Any move up into the configured tier awards the points, whether an order or point earner pushes the customer over the tier's milestone or you promote them manually.

Skipped tiers still pay. If a customer jumps straight from Bronze to Platinum, every tier crossed fires its configured reward: they receive both the Gold promotion points and the Platinum promotion points in the same event.

What doesn't count

Movements that aren't real milestone promotions don't award points:

• Joining or leaving the tag-based secondary program, including the recalculation that runs when a customer leaves it.

• Tier shifts connected to B2B company loyalty.

• Demotions, naturally: only upward moves award.

Points or perks: combining with Customer Rewards

Tier Promotion awards points. If you'd rather greet a new tier with a reward itself (a discount, a gift), use Reward customers for reaching a tier. The two combine well: points for the milestone, plus a tangible welcome-to-the-tier perk.
