Loyalty workaround ideas?

[bierlybrewing]

We have an established loyalty program where customers earn a point per visit, and then can redeem six points for a pastry on their next visit. I would also like to start a separate loyalty program based on a subscription item - people who subscribe to the item get 10% off of certain purchases. Is there any way to work around this? It looks like Square doesn't allow multiple rules for earning points but this just seems silly. I can't believe that people have been asking for this for years and there hasn't been any movement on it

Thanks for posting @bierlybrewing ! I'm Hailey from the Community team. Although I don't believe there is a fully-automated solution to this use case through loyalty, I think there might be a workaround with creating a customer group and then creating a customer group discount. 

@JTPets @vinesandrushes both use loyalty and have some ideas of their own with their use cases. Any ideas @JTPets @vinesandrushes  ?

Yes I host a local app to track customer purchaeses and vendor sponsored buy 12 get 13th free. I use customer groups and discounts together to support this. I do wish the loyalty api was more robust so I could post directly to their rewards account a specific discount

Thanks for the tip on customer groups, I'm experimenting with that now!

It sounds like you want the customers who are subscribers to get discounts on certain things but not everything. If thats right I am working on a tool that does just that. I'm looking for beta testers. If you are interested let me know by sending me a note here or I can just send you a DM here.
