Rewards card
A rewards card highlights benefits offered by a business, such as a reward, discount or additional service. The term does not define a single collection mechanism.

What this means for your shop
Calling your offer a rewards card tells guests to expect a benefit. Your explanation then says what it is and how they receive it. A card might provide an immediate benefit or unlock a reward after a series of qualifying transactions. The name leaves open which approach applies.
Decide whether the benefit depends on an individual purchase, a collection target or another clearly stated condition. Use the same terms on the card and on signs. Talking about points while your team issues stamps creates avoidable questions.
How to recognise it
A café advertises a rewards card with a drink as the eventual reward. Guests actually collect stamps to qualify. The card is therefore also a stamp card and a loyalty card: “rewards” describes the benefit, “stamp” the mechanism and “loyalty” the purpose.
A customer card can exist without offering that benefit. A rewards card is also not stored credit or a payment method. Name the specific item or service instead of advertising an unspecified bonus.
With Treubar
You set a reward and the associated stamp target, and the setup help shows where to configure both. Treubar works with stamps, not points or stored credit, so the card is easy to explain: guests collect, reach the target and receive the reward you named.
