Every member of your loyalty system must be in a scheme, the scheme determines how many points a member can earn, minimum spend before calculating points, how the points are calculated and whether or not they can advance to a new scheme or drop a scheme. For example, you might have a Bronze membership scheme which gives two points for every pound spent, and when they get up to 250 points they would be promoted to the Silver scheme which gives 4 points for every pound spent and so on.

Once you have inputted your schemes you can determine whether members should ‘move up’ a scheme when they get to a certain amount of points.
To do this, simply go back into Edit Current Scheme and change ‘advance scheme to’ to your selected scheme which can be chosen from the drop-down list. You must also select how many points/pounds the cardholder spends before they move up a scheme. When a customer moves up a scheme Instant Loyalty automatically changes their membership to the appropriate type.
