What is point expiration?

In Welcome Back, you can define an expiration period for the points your customers earn. This means that after a certain number of days (for example, 30, 90, or 365), unused points will expire automatically. This feature helps encourage faster engagement, reduce long-term financial liability, and launch reactivation campaigns.

How to configure it

Go to Loyalty → your card → Edit → Card Rules. In the Downloaded Card Expiration Policy section, enable it and choose one of three options:

  • Never expire — points never expire.

  • After X days of inactivity — points expire if the customer hasn't made a transaction in X days.

  • After X days from download — points expire X days after the customer downloaded the card.

Important: only the digital card is removed from the customer's wallet. All customer data, points balance, and transaction history remain safely in your database. If a customer re-enrolls with the same email, all their previous data is restored.
