Configuring Membership Type Level Rules

Configure rules to define how membership tier points are used to upgrade or downgrade a guest's membership to a higher or lower level, respectively. Membership level rules determine the tier points required to upgrade a guest's membership to a higher level or downgrade it to a lower level. These level rules are applied when the upgrade/downgrade batch is run. Upgrade/downgrade decisions are based on factors such as:
  • Revenue - Revenue generated by the guest during a given period.

  • Stays - Number of stays booked by the guest during a given period.

  • Nights - Number of nights the guest was in residence during a given period.

How revenue, stays, and nights translate to tier points is set by the membership points calculation rules
