Points rolling expiry
Points rolling expiry is a feature that resets or extends the expiry date of loyalty points when a customer performs certain actions, such as making a transaction or redeeming points. These actions are referred to as "rolling events." Points rolling expiry allows you to control when loyalty points expire, ensuring that points remain valid as long as the customer continues to engage in rolling events.
When a rolling event occurs, the the expiry date for all points earned are updated or rolled to a later date. The "rolling window" determines how far this expiry date is extended. For example, a rolling window of 12 months will extend the expiry date of the earned points by 12 months.
