Points program
A points program is a loyalty program in which participants collect points under defined rules and can use them for benefits. Different qualifying actions may earn different amounts of points.

What this means for your shop
Points need clear rules: what earns them, how many are awarded and which benefits they can be used for. A programme can give different purchases different weights. That is one design option, not something every points programme does.
Unlike money, a point has no fixed value of its own. Its meaning comes from the conditions of that particular offer. A points balance stands for a cash payout or a specific reward only when the rules say so.
How to recognise it
Imagine a shop where different purchases earn different amounts of collection units. Customers compare their points balance with the requirements for their chosen reward. That is a points programme. If comparable qualifying purchases are each recorded as a stamp towards a fixed target, stamp programme is the more precise description of the mechanism.
Appearance alone does not decide the category: round symbols can represent points, and a number can count stamps. What matters is how progress is calculated and used. Explain that rule before the first purchase, so the name is backed by something clear.
At Treubar
Treubar uses a stamp target and a reward: one rule that is simple to explain at the counter. Spending-based points are not part of it. The stamp card guide describes the setup, and the planning guide helps you clarify your conditions beforehand.
