  • Member Lifetime Value (LTV): Total revenue attributed to a member over their entire relationship
  • Points Liability: Outstanding unredeemed points — a financial obligation on your balance sheet
  • Redemption Rate: % of earned points that are redeemed. Healthy range: 60-80%
  • Active Member Rate: % of enrolled members who transacted in last 90 days. Target: >40%
  • Program ROI: (Incremental revenue from program - Program cost) / Program cost. Target: >3x

  • Champions (R5 F5 M5): Your best customers. Reward and retain.
