Defining the Bonus Event Settings

Use the Bonus Event Settings tab to configure the name of the bonus event, active dates, active stores, and the multiplier for the bonus event. You can define the multiplier for the event and the schedule. For example, you can give double credit to a member who visits your restaurant during off peak hours, or sits in a particular location of your restaurant. You can also create a replication group that includes specific stores that are low-performing, and create a bonus event that drives revenue to those stores to increase business.

 

Active

— Indicates the status of the bonus event. When you create a new bonus event, by default the bonus event is active. To make the bonus event inactive, clear the check box.

Name

— Identifies the bonus event. Bonus events are specific to a particular bonus plan and each bonus event name must be unique. You can type up to 50 characters in the text box.

Voucher Text

— Indicates you want to print a voucher at the store when a member receives a bonus event. If you select ‘Voucher Text,’ you must define a message using Create Reward Text. Refer to Create Reward Text for more information on customizing messages.

Start Date

— Designates the starting date for the bonus event. Each bonus event requires a start date. The start date cannot begin before the bonus plan start date or after the bonus plan end date.

End Date

— Designates an optional ending date. The ending date must occur after the bonus event start date.

Bonus Event Multiplier

Use the options in the Bonus Event Multiplier section to enter the number of times by which a credit gets multiplied on the bonus event.

Multiply member credit by x for qualified purchases during the bonus event schedule

— Contains the number by which the bonus event multiplies the earned credit. For example, if the member earns 20 points and the multiplier is two, the member earns 40 points when they meet the bonus event qualifier. The type of bonus plan you are configuring dictates the type of number you can type in the text box. Refer to the following table:

Bonus Plan Type	Whole Number	Fractional Number
Currency-based		X
Frequency-based	X
Items-based	X
Lottery-based	Not applicable to Lottery-based plans.
Points-based		X

For example, you can multiply the bonus event by ‘2.25’ on Currency-based and Points-based plans, but not on Frequency-based or Items-based bonus plans.

Maximum credit per bonus event:

— Contains the maximum credit the member can earn during a bonus event.

Bonus Event Settings

The bonus event settings enable you to define the active locations for the bonus event.

Activate bonus event in:

All Stores

If you do not have any replication groups defined, this option is not available. Refer to Replication Group Online Help for more information on creating replication groups.
