# Fundamentals (https://docs.loybox.com.ar/en/puntos-y-premios)



The points and rewards system is the engine of your club: members earn points
on every purchase and redeem them for your brand's rewards. It is the mechanic
that turns a one-off purchase into a relationship that comes back.

  Each brand defines its own point rules, its expiration modes and its reward
