AIR MILES Reward Program
150 SmartSELECT Merchant Operating Manual v 2.0
I.1: AIR MILES Configuration
Before configuring AIR MILES on the SmartSELECT terminal, you will need to
decide which parameters your formula will use and what values those parameters
will have for calculating Rewards. The parameters are:
• Calculator
• Factor
• Incentive
• Incentive Start Date
• Incentive End Date
• Sale Item Rewards
• Maximum Rewards
• Reset Rewards time
I.1.1: Overview of Calculation of Points
The AIR MILES Rewards program applies the Calculator and Factor values to the
purchase amount to determine the number of Rewards points to be awarded. If an
Incentive Value, Start Date and End Date have also been configured, and the pur-
chase occurs within the start and end dates, the number of Rewards points will be
multiplied by the incentive value to determine the number of Incentive rewards to
be awarded. If Sale Items have been configured and the cardholder has purchased
a Sale Item, the program will multiply the Sale Item value by the number of items
purchased to determine the number of Sale Item rewards awarded. The program
then totals all points awarded in order to determine the final number of Rewards
points for that transaction.
I.1.2: Calculator and Factor Values
The Calculator and Factor values are the basic values for calculating Rewards
points based on a purchase amount. The Calculator amounts indicate the dollar
value for which one reward unit is awarded. The Factor values indicate the num-
ber of times that the Calculator amount is applied (maximum is 99). If the Factor
value is set to 99, that Factor will be applied infinitely.
The examples are followed by blank tables for your use in testing possible values
to ensure a reasonable number of points are rewarded.
