Creating Eligibility Promotions

An eligibility promotion is a promotion that has rules and criteria but does not have any actions. These types of promotions are used to check the eligibility of a particular member who might be entitled to get a specific set of promotional benefits. For example, it can be used if a set of promotions are only applicable to residents of US who are over the age of 18.

Eligibility promotions must be used exclusively in Promotion Designer: the eligibility promotion is executed before the reward promotions in the promotion design, to restrict the reward promotions to a category of members. The subsequent promotions in the promotion design are executed only if the member meets the criteria in the eligibility promotion. For information about Promotion Designer, and how it relates to eligibility promotions, refer to Using Promotion Designer.

Eligibility promotions help to improve performance and ease the setup of promotions because you will no longer need to include these criteria in each individual reward promotion you create.
