Creating Point Blocks for a Loyalty Promotion

If you selected Limited in the Point Limit Type field of the Promotion record, then you must associate a point block with the promotion, and this point block is used to give points for this promotion.

A subpoint block is created and associated with the promotion. The subpoint block takes a specified number of points from a point block that has been created and activated in the Program Administration screen, Point Blocks field.

For more information about fields in the Point Block record, see Creating Point Blocks for Loyalty Programs.

Note: Before doing this procedure, you must select Limited in the Point Limit Type field of the Promotion record. Otherwise, this view is read only.
