Loyalty

Level 4. Sign up once, and we handle every program.

Status: designed, not built

This exists as one paragraph of the overview. No adapter implements it. The form factor account_bound_loyalty is declared, and a few shared helpers treat it the same as account_bound, but nothing does loyalty work.

A design, not a product. Nothing here runs.

The idea has two parts. First, skip the sign-up-for-a-discount step at every grocery store. Second, redeem points well. The overview says the same points can be worth anywhere from 4% to 15% within one chain's catalogue, depending on what you spend them on, and most people do not do that math. That figure has no source or measurement in this repo yet.

The obvious questions

How would you pick the best redemption?

By comparing what each option in a program's catalogue is worth per point, and choosing the best one. None of this is built, and no catalogue has been measured.

Do you need my password?

Not decided. Nothing about how we would reach a program account has been designed.

Is this allowed by the programs?

Not worked out. No program's terms have been reviewed. A program can close an account it thinks someone else is running, and that would put the member's points at risk. That question has to be answered before any of this is built.

Is it live?

No. It is the furthest-out level. See the Roadmap.
