A card that already shows a couple of stamps feels closer to finished than an empty one, so customers are more likely to come back and complete it. Bonus stamps are how you give that head start. You set them per card, and they live in the Advanced Settings of the stamp card wizard.

​
Where to find them

Go to Cards in the sidebar and open a card with Create Card, or edit one you already have. On the first step, Card Design, scroll down to Advanced Settings and open it.

Inside, the Bonus Stamps section has two sliders. Each goes from 0 to 10.

​
Welcome Bonus

The Welcome Bonus gives new customers stamps the first time they join your card. Set it with the slider, and the card preview on the right updates to show the head start. This is the same setting as the Join stamps field at the top of the Card Design form, so changing one changes the other. Qtap adds these stamps automatically when a customer joins for the first time. A value of 2 is a good default: it gives a real head start without handing over the reward. A customer who sees 2 of 10 stamps already filled is far more likely to come back than one looking at an empty card.

​
Birthday Bonus

The Birthday Bonus is the number of extra stamps you want to give a customer on their birthday. The customer needs a birthday saved on their member profile for it to apply, so this works best once you have profiles filled in.
The Welcome Bonus is the one Qtap applies on its own. To actually deliver a birthday reward, run a Birthday campaign so the customer hears from you on the day, then add the stamps from Stamp Ops on their next visit.

​
Confirm and publish

Move through the wizard to the Review step. The Settings summary lists your Welcome Bonus and Birthday Bonus so you can check them before the card goes live.

Bonus stamps apply to customers who join after you save the change, so set them before you start handing out the card. You can adjust the sliders later by editing the card.
