Introduction
As a rule, we will only issue tier rewards when a customer's VIP tier is increasing (relative to their current tier). We do not issue rewards when a customer retains their current tier, or drops to a lower tier. In contrast, we will always send notifications when a customer's tier or tier expiry changes (regardless of whether they're moving up, down, or retaining their existing tier).
The only exceptions to these rule are mass tier imports (CSV), and initial tier calculations (when a program is enabled). Neither of these actions will result in tier rewards being issued, or notifications being sent.
✅ This feature is available on the Growth plan and above.
