Understanding Reward Expiry

Some loyalty programmes include expiry dates to encourage customers to redeem rewards sooner.

Others allow rewards to remain available indefinitely.

The right approach depends on your business goals and customer behaviour.

Advantages of Expiring Rewards

Expiry dates can encourage customers to return before their rewards disappear, increasing customer engagement and repeat visits.

They also help keep loyalty programmes active.

Potential Drawbacks

If expiry periods are too short, customers may become frustrated or feel pressured.

Clear communication is essential so customers always understand when rewards expire.

Final Thoughts

Reward expiry should motivate customers, not disappoint them.
