Understand fixed and incremental rewards

Learn about discount reward options and how customers spend points on fixed and incremental rewards.

Updated yesterday

Discount rewards let customers redeem points for a discount coupon at your store. When configuring discounts, you can choose between a reward with a Fixed amount of points or one that uses Increments of points. Understanding the difference between these options will help you set up a program that works best for your store and customers.

Tip: If you’re looking to create a new way for customers to redeem points, check out our article on configuring ways to redeem points.

Fixed amount of points


A reward with a Fixed amount of points has a set discount and points cost. Fixed rewards can be set up for both online and POS rewards.

For example: A $5 off reward that costs 500 points.

With this option, customers can’t change the number of points used or the discount value—they redeem the exact amount set.

Increments of Points


A reward using Increments of points allows customers to choose how many points they redeem based on a sliding scale you configure. Incremental rewards can only be used as online rewards and aren’t currently an option for POS rewards.

For example, you might offer $1 off for every 100 points spent.

In this case:

  • A customer with 512 points could choose to redeem 500 points for a $5 discount.

  • Or, they could choose to redeem 300 points for a $3 discount.

This option gives customers the flexibility to choose the reward value they want. You can set a minimum number of points needed to redeem an incremental reward, and a maximum number of points customers can spend on it—giving you full control over how rewards are customized.

ℹ️ Note: Incremental (variable) rewards are rounded to the nearest 100 points at the time of redemption.
