Card Rule Configuration Reference

Programs require at least one card rule, which define the types of cards that work for the program. Gift and Loyalty programs typically have a single iCard rule, while programs migrating from other providers typically have rules for third-party cards and iCards.

Creating Card Rules for iCard

1. In Reporting and Analytics, click Card Rules in the iCare Gift, Payment, and Loyalty Configuration portlet, and then click Add. If you cannot find the link, contact your system administrator.
2. Enter an identifying name in the Rule Name.
3. Select Is this an iCard?, and then click Create. Gift and Loyalty generates the iCard Program Number.
4. To simplify identification when using the rule, you can edit the card rule and add the program number to the name. For example, if you create the card rule Example Card Rule, and Gift and Loyalty generates the program number 1234, you can change the name to 1234 - Example Card Rule to easily identify the program number for the rule.

Creating Card Rules for Third-Party Cards

Gift and Loyalty supports card rules for third-party cards, but imposes the following restrictions:

• Card numbers must not exceed 16 card number digits.

• Card numbers cannot start with alphabetical characters, a leading digit of 0, or the # symbol.

• myicard.net does not support third-party card rules. While many card rules will function, myicard.net cannot ensure that a card number is unique and cannot ensure that a third-party card number will open the correct account.

1. In Reporting and Analytics, click Card Rules in the iCare Gift, Payment, and Loyalty Configuration portlet, and then click Add. If you cannot find the link, contact your system administrator.
2. Enter an identifying name in the Rule Name. To simplify identification when using the rule, include the card preamble in the name. For example, 1234 – Example Card Rule.
3. In the Check Digit Type drop-down list, select Do Not Test for Check Digit unless you know the check digit processing information.
4. Enter the preamble in Foreign Card Preamble. The field accepts up to 10 alphanumeric characters.
5. Enter the number of card number digits in Foreign Card Length. The length must include the preamble.
6. Enter the fixed currency amount in Foreign Card Denomination.
7. Set the date and time range for the card rule, and then click Save.
