Enrolling Members in Loyalty Programs


To enroll a new member in a loyalty program, the member service representative must perform the following steps:

For information about creating parent-child memberships, see Working with Parent-Child Member Relationships.

CAUTION:  If you have set up a registration bonus, then it is applied only if the member is enrolled in the Member screen, as described in this topic. If you add new members in some other view, then they do not get registration bonuses. For more information about registration bonuses, see Example of Creating an Action-Based Bonus.

Selecting a Member Type and Membership Scheme

To enroll a member, you begin by selecting the member type and membership scheme. For more information about membership schemes, see Creating Membership Schemes for Siebel Loyalty.

There are four types of members of loyalty programs:

  • Individual. This type of member includes people who join programs on their own behalf. They must make purchases themselves to earn points.
  • Household. This type of member includes people who join programs to earn points for the household's membership. Any household member can make purchases to earn points. The individuals within the household accrue and/or redeem points through the household membership.
  • Account. This type of member includes companies that join programs. The company earns points for its purchases.
  • Partner. This type of member includes companies who have partners that join programs. For example, a dealer can be a partner of an automobile manufacturer, because its customers earn the manufacturer's points when they buy cars. The same dealer can join a loyalty program as a member, so the manufacturer can reward the dealer with points for meeting sales goals.
