Remarks on program function
The data for the Miles & More bonus type can be updated, i.e. created, changed or deleted, with this program. Data which has already been stored can also be displayed.
Miles & More customers can earn bonus miles from certain promotions or special offers. Various "Miles & More bonus types" are therefore stored in the system under a dedicated number.
The number for the Miles & More bonus typecan be called up with key event <MMBONUS>. If a Miles & More card has not yet been swiped the terminal asks the operator to do so. Bonus mile recordings are only possible after the M&M card has been swiped.
The entries made here determine the calculation of the programmed M&M bonus type. The bonus miles calculated are shown on the receipt.
The example below shows how bonus miles are
calculated:
- Miles earned from turnover = 20
- Multiplicator = 3
- Bonus miles earned = 40
The earned miles are multiplied as defined. The result represents the total number of miles earned. In the above example this is 60 and 20 of them are normally earned and the other 40 are bonus miles which have been credited.
