Stamp Card

A stamp card is the simplest loyalty format. The rule is visible on the card: collect ten stamps, earn a reward. It rewards frequency rather than spend, which is why it suits coffee shops, groomers, car washes, laundries and other businesses where the visit itself is the unit that matters.

It matters because the progress is visible and the reward is concrete. Example: a coffee shop stamps one visit per drink; the tenth drink is free. A digital version keeps the same rule but stores the card on the customer's phone and records each stamp when staff scan it.

A stamp card differs from a points (rewards) card, which credits an amount per unit spent and can have several reward levels; from a multipass, which counts down sessions the customer has already paid for; and from a punch card, which is the paper form of the same idea. A double-stamp campaign is still a stamp card with a temporary rule.

With Loyal-T Cards, the stamp card is a branded pass for Apple Wallet and Google Wallet. The threshold and reward are configured with you at setup, staff record stamps with the scanner, and the dashboard shows stamps issued and rewards redeemed.
