Credit Cards as Loyalty Cards

Customer loyalty, brand presence, and added value – directly within the payment process.

Added Value with Every Card Use

Credit cards can be much more than just a payment method. As loyalty cards, they combine payment, brand, and added value in a single product.

This creates card programs that encourage usage, strengthen customer loyalty, and permanently embed the brand in cardholders’ daily lives – fully in the issuer’s branding, if desired.

How it works

A credit card-based loyalty card directly links the payment process with defined added value. Thus, every transaction becomes an active component of customer loyalty.

1. Issue Card

The credit card is designed as a loyalty card in the issuer’s branding and integrated into the respective loyalty program.

2. Use Card

The cardholder uses the card in everyday life – online, mobile, or at the point of sale.

3. Trigger Added Value

With every use, defined benefits such as rewards, bonus mechanisms, exclusive services, or special privileges can be activated.
