Level Card

Level cards create VIP tiers that make customers feel special and encourage them to spend more to reach the next level.

How level cards work

Customers start at the bottom tier and earn their way up through visits or spending. Each level offers better perks than the last.

Common tier names:

• Bronze → Silver → Gold
• Member → VIP → Elite
• Regular → Premium → Platinum
• Basic → Preferred → Exclusive

How customers advance

• Gold: $500+ spent lifetime
