To create a points program, go to **Points** in the left sidebar and click **New Points Program**. The form and a live card preview load side by side. Points Programs page with the Create Program button highlighted Points programs and stamp cards share a plan limit. If you've reached your loyalty card limit, you'll see a message here with a link to upgrade under **Settings > Billing**. ## Program details Fill in the program details at the top of the form: 1. **Program Name** — what members see on the card in the app. Required. 2. **Description** — a short line that appears on the card, like "Earn 1 point per QAR spent." 3. **Points per currency** — how many points a customer earns per one unit of currency. If you set this to 2, a customer spending 10 QAR earns 20 points. Defaults to 1. 4. **Currency** — the currency your program uses. Defaults to QAR. 5. **Card Icon** — choose an emoji to display on the card (diamond, star, trophy, gift, and others). 6. **Card Color** — the background color of the card. Click the color swatch to open the picker. 7. **Terms and conditions** — optional text displayed on the back of the card.

To enable expiry, turn on the **Points expire** toggle and configure: * **Days** — how many days before points expire * **Expiry type** — choose from "From earn date," "From last activity," or "Calendar year" ## Availability period If you want the program to run only during a specific window, turn on the availability period toggle and set a start date and end date. Members can only earn points between those dates. ## Valid Locations Select which locations this program applies to. If you leave all locations unchecked, the program works at all locations. ## Saving and publishing At the bottom of the form, click **Publish** to make the program live immediately. Members can find and join it in the Qtap app right away. Click **Save Draft** to save without making it public. Draft programs are not visible to members.
