A badge can be issued via MemberCare without any owners or claim.

requestId*	String	Enter a unique identifier to identify the request.
earnEventDate	Date	Defines the date on which the customer performed the activity.

For example: The activity was performed at 11:20:00 on March 15, 2026, in India. Format for the request parameter: 2026-03-15T11:20:00+05:30 Notes: This date can be set up to 24 hours in the future from the current time. For direct earn badges, the date must be between the badge start and end date. For issue & earn badges, the date must be between the badge issual start and end date. A past date can be entered to issue a badge against an older transaction.
triggeredBy	Object	The object containing information about what triggered the action.
ownerType*	Enum	The module for which the badge is being issued. Supported values: Loyalty, Loyalty_Promotion, Referral_Campaigns, Journeys, Audience_Campaigns, Rewards_Catalog, Goodwill_Module, Milestones, Historical_Import
