Bonuses

Bonus programs offer an important advantage that card stores have over coin stores. Managers may reward customer patronage and give incentives that maximize store usage. Most of these bonus programs can operate independently or in conjunction with each other.

This screen allows you to reward customers for adding more money to their cards at one time. For example, on the screen below, no bonus is given for $1 or $5; their values are entered at face value. However, if a customer adds $10, she is given a bonus of $1, for a total of $11 in value on the card.

There is also a check box after the value of each denomination, labeled 'Accumulate w/ Smaller Bills'. If you mark this check box, the customer receives the bonus no matter how the value is added, either with 20 $1 bills or with one $20 bill. If you leave the check box unmarked, he must put in a $20 bill to receive the bonus.

Regardless if 'Accumulate w/ Smaller Bills' is checked or not, money must be added within the same transaction in order to receive the bonus. Once the customer removes his/her card, that transaction is over.

If you are accepting credit cards you may select if customers are able to earn bonus dollars when they add value to their card with credit cards. Check the appropriate box next to the dollar amount you wish to have customers earn bonus dollars.
