The complete guide
Loyalty cards, made digital
Everything about loyalty cards — what they are, why digital beats paper, the types you can run, and how to create one. Plus the card types and guides to get it right.
In short
A loyalty card is the tool customers use to track their progress in a rewards program — collecting stamps or points toward a reward. A digital loyalty card moves that onto the customer's phone instead of plastic or paper, so it is never lost and needs no app download: customers join by scanning a QR code.

Digital vs paper loyalty cards
Paper loyalty cards still clutter tills, but they get lost and are easy to forge. A digital loyalty card lives on the customer's phone, so it is always to hand, only your staff can add a stamp, and there is nothing to print or reprint.
Types of loyalty card
LoyalNeo supports every common format:
- Digital stamp cards — collect a stamp per visit toward a reward.
- Digital punch cards — the same mechanic, fraud-proof and never lost.
- Apple Wallet passes — keep the card in the iPhone Wallet app.
- Point-based cards — reward spend rather than visits.
How to create a loyalty card
Pick how many stamps complete the card and the reward it earns, brand it with your logo and colours, then share your QR code. Customers join in seconds and you approve stamps from any phone — live the same day, with no hardware.
