Instant Rewards: The Digital Stamp Card

A fixed reward, credited the moment a customer earns it, with no tiers to explain. The simplest loyalty program a shop can run.

Individual Instant Rewards is Gamma's simplest reward model and the one most shops start with. You pick the reward: a free coffee after ten, five percent back per visit, a free side with any lunch. It is credited as soon as the customer qualifies, and they can see it in their Gamma Wallet straight away. There is no waiting period and nothing extra for them to keep track of.

For the shop, it replaces the paper stamp card. The customer shows their Wallet QR, you scan it in Gamma Business, and the visit is recorded. Cards stop getting lost, and you no longer have to guess how many half-stamped ones are still out there. Because the reward arrives on the first day, customers see the point of the program before they leave, which makes Instant Rewards easy to launch and easy to explain.

Who it's for
Instant Rewards for Cafés

Instant Rewards for Cafés

Regulars at a neighbourhood café kept losing their paper stamp cards. The owner didn't want to ask them to install a loyalty app that only worked in one café.

A café sells one drink at a time, so "your tenth coffee is free" needs no explaining at the counter. The Gamma Wallet customers install also works in all other Gamma shops.

Stamps are stored in the customer's Gamma Wallet, so a card left in a coat pocket no longer costs anyone a free coffee.

Instant Rewards for Salons

Instant Rewards for Salons

Clients at a hair salon come in every six to eight weeks. A stamp card that needs ten visits would take them more than a year to fill.

With Instant Rewards the client earns credit on the day of the appointment and can see it in Gamma Wallet before leaving the salon.

The credit from the last appointment is waiting to be used, which gives clients a reason to book the next one at the same salon.

Instant Rewards for Restaurants

Instant Rewards for Restaurants

A restaurant launched a new seasonal menu and wanted to thank first-time diners who tried it, without starting a full loyalty program.

One fixed reward does the job. It doesn't depend on knowing anything about the diner's earlier visits.

Setting it up took as long as choosing the reward, and the credit is ready to spend on the diner's next visit.

How it works

  1. Pick a reward in Gamma Business: a fixed amount, a free item or a percentage.
  2. When a customer pays, scan the QR code in their Gamma Wallet.
  3. The customer earns and later redeems in Gamma Wallet, the same app on each visit.
  4. Each scan is recorded, so nothing depends on a paper card surviving in someone's purse.
Merchant

A program you can explain in one sentence, with no paper cards to reprint.

Customer

Reward credit that appears as soon as they earn it, in the same app they use at any Gamma shop.

Above the top tier shown, we set pricing for your account.

Direct Credit can be activated on top of any reward model above, for a small extra fee at your tier. The "+ Direct Credit" column shows the total price.

The max spend counted applies to each client in each pool, not to the pool's total. If a client spends more than this while the pool is active, the extra doesn't count towards their reward. A pool's total is what all clients spend, each counted up to this limit.

How the €200 credit ceiling works

Separately, a client can hold at most €200 in reward credit at any one retailer, however many pools they join. If a client already holds €140 there and a new purchase would earn more than €60 in reward, only €60 is credited. The client should spend some of that credit first, then keep buying in the pool to build back up towards the €200 limit.

Push and in-app notifications never cost anything, at any tier. Email carries a small per-broadcast cost that rises with your tier.

Frequently asked

How is Instant Rewards different from a physical stamp card?

The idea is the same: a reward after a set number of visits or purchases. The difference is that the stamps live in the customer's Gamma Wallet, so they can't be lost, forgotten or left at home.

Can I combine Instant Rewards with another reward model?

Yes. Direct Credit can run alongside any other model as credit to spend in your shop. Most shops run one main model at a time, and Instant Rewards is where most of them start.
