Earn & Burn loyalty programs treat all customers equally, so there’s no need for further segmentation. When only purchases are rewarded, implementation is quick and simple.

Earn & Burn programs are easily integrated because the rate of reward redemption is limited by the available loyalty currency. Plus, it’s less expensive than a discount system.
