Gift/Loyalty Program Background What are Gift Cards? Gift Cards replace paper gift certificates. This plastic card is designed specifically for businesses. The “gift value” amount is loaded by swiping a magnetic striped card though a POS terminal and the data is stored on the host database. Gift Cards can be used multiple times and can be reloaded. What are Loyalty Cards? Loyalty cards are identical to gift cards but instead of storing monetary value, a point based system is used. This system is used to track and reward customers for their purchases, giving them a compelling reason to return. The idea of gift cards began with Neiman Marcus in 1994 when they introduced it into their chain of stores. Since then, gift cards have spread in popularity for both merchants and consumers alike.
