Loyalty card examples
Loyalty card examples, business by business.
Eight loyalty cards (also called punch cards or rewards cards) for different businesses, exactly as customers see them in Apple Wallet or Google Wallet. Use them as ideas for yours: the reward, the goal and the card type change with how often your customers come back.
How it works
- 1
Pick the type
Punches if they come often, points if spend varies, a member discount, or a coupon for the first visit.
- 2
Set a reachable goal
The reward should come within one or two months of normal visits. If it's too far away, nobody chases it.
- 3
Make it yours
Your logo, your colors and the punch icon. Your customer saves it by tapping an NFC tag or scanning a QR code.
8 examples by business type
8 punches and the ninth coffee is free: the classic punch card everyone gets.
Fewer punches because haircuts are every 3 or 4 weeks: the reward has to feel close.
Points based on spend: whoever orders more earns sooner. Ideal when checks vary a lot.
Free nail art
A welcome coupon so the first visit turns into a second.
5 washes and the sixth is free: cars get dirty every week, so the reward comes fast.
10% off pet food
A fixed member discount: they buy pet food from you instead of the supermarket.

Membership card: no punches, but they get your messages and every visit is recorded.
Lots of small visits: 10 punches work because customers come almost daily.
What makes a good loyalty card
- A reward your customer actually wants, not a discount they won't notice.
- A goal that feels close from the first punch.
- Saved in seconds, with no apps or long forms.
- A reminder that it exists: a message when they're close.
Loyalty card, punch card or rewards card
They're the same thing under different names: a card that rewards repeat customers. Some say loyalty card, others punch card, stamp card or rewards card.
Frequently asked questions
What types of loyalty cards are there?
The most common are punch cards (every visit adds one), points (based on spend), member discounts, welcome coupons and membership cards. With Tacty you can have several at once.
How many punches should a loyalty card have?
It depends on how often your customer comes back. Between 5 and 10 is typical: fewer if the visit is pricey or infrequent (barbershop, car wash), more if they come almost daily (coffee shop, bakery).
Can I use these examples for my business?
Yes. When you create your card in Tacty you choose the type, the goal and the reward, and add your logo and colors. You can also ask your AI assistant to suggest one.
How much does it cost to create my card?
You try it free. If you like it, the first month is 50% off and then you pay $29.95 a month, with unlimited customers and messages.
