Skip the points. Sell memberships.
Points-based loyalty platforms create overhead and unclear value. PerkClub keeps it simple: members pay you upfront for a clear set of perks.
Why memberships beat points
Loyalty platforms — Square Loyalty, Fivestars, Yotpo, generic points apps — track customer spend and reward it with points or tiers. The system is complex by design: members forget their balances, points expire, and the redemption rate is often under 10% — meaning the business pays for engagement that mostly doesn't happen.
A membership is concrete. The member knows exactly what they get; the business knows exactly what it owes. Revenue is predictable, the relationship is direct, and the wallet pass means the perks are visible in the place a customer already looks (their phone wallet).
Concrete perks, not abstract points
Members get specific things — a daily coffee, a monthly cut, a weekly bouquet. No mental math, no expired balances.
Visible in their wallet
The membership lives next to bank cards in Apple or Google Wallet. Loyalty apps live behind a tap on a home screen — and most customers never get there.
Predictable revenue from day one
Loyalty platforms pay for engagement that may never happen. Memberships pay you the same on the 1st of every month.
