Credit Card Reward Points

Every time you swipe a credit card at a point of sale (PoS) terminal to make a transaction, you are likely to earn credit card reward points as payment.

As a consumer collects these card specific reward points, they become eligible for current or future freebies based on the criteria rolled out by each bank. Credit card providers often have robust reward programs to go along with their cards. These points are designed to incentivize the card owner to strategically spend, but spend more.

One may ultimately redeem these points to purchase a variety of goods and services. They are referred to as a point as they quantify one’s eligibility for several rewards such as discounts, cashbacks, gift vouchers and other exciting offers — all based on one’s purchase and spending history.

Swiping on the Innoviti terminal is an altogether rewarding experience as our collaborative commerce platform is credit card friendly. Apart from earning credit points, credit cards are offered attractive and cost-effective schemes like no-cost and low-cost EMI. Credit Card users have especially preferred our EMI-wallet due to the range of devices on which they are able to begin a BNPL payment plan.

What Are Reward Points?

Every time a credit card customer makes a purchase with their card, their bank will give them a reward point against a given amount spent. Hence, rather than being a blanket advantage, reward points are subject to how much and on what a card owner decides to spend credit on. After accumulating enough points, you can exchange them for a variety of products, including gift cards, products, and air miles.

How do Reward Points work?

You earn points against a given transaction. Rewards points are offered by all credit card companies; however, the value of each reward point varies from card to card.

Since reward points are often segment specific, they are seldom interchangeable. This means that points earned on airline tickets cannot be used or redeemed on groceries. Each card caters to particular segments. Hence, card owners ought to consider their requirements before opting for a credit card.

There are numerous methods for beginning to earn reward points and redeem them, ranging from loyalty programs to cashback points that allow flexible redemption possibilities.
