The Benefits of Umbrella Loyalty Programs.

An umbrella loyalty program unites the individual loyalty programs of all parties involved. As such, customers can use the points they earn at one brand to access rewards from another.

Companies in an umbrella loyalty program enjoy extended reach, as customers from different industries or verticals are introduced to their products, rewards and offerings.

Running an umbrella loyalty program is rather cost-effective, as the associated costs can be split between the companies. In addition, each brand is in charge of managing their own rewards.

In an umbrella loyalty program, customers can earn multiple loyalty currencies for different actions. Each of these loyalty points can correlate with different reward types.

If participating brands have their own loyalty point systems, the umbrella program can synergize them by allowing customers to exchange one type of point for another.

Umbrella Loyalty
Program Examples

Cross-network umbrella program

In a travel-focused umbrella program, members can collect points in separate loyalty programs for booking flights, renting cars, and staying at hotels. They are then able to transfer their airline and car rental points to their hotel point balance, for example, so they will have enough points to redeem an offer for a free extra night at the hotel.

Best fit for:

Travel Agencies, Multi-industry Networks

Umbrella Loyalty Program Examples - Cross-network umbrella program

Multi-currency umbrella program

Customers who are members of an umbrella loyalty program that unites brands from the same group could earn trip tokens for making a purchase from any of the brands. On the other hand, leaving a review or referring a friend would yield a review token. Trip tokens are worth high-value rewards, while review tokens are worth lesser-value benefits.

Best fit for:

Fashion & Cosmetic Groups, Conglomerates
