All loyalty programs face the following business
issues related to redemption costs:

Setting Redemption Cost Assumptions

Programs issue points today, but won't know the actual cost of those points for years. How does a program leader make sound business decisions today without knowing the largest expense of the business model?

Liability Management

Accurately estimating future redemption cost on outstanding points is a complex actuarial exercise, particularly with increased uncertainty due to COVID-19.

Financial Reporting

Loyalty programs need complex actuarial analytics designed to be in compliance with the accounting standards ASC606 (US) and IFRS15 (International).

Auditor reviews

Getting auditors to sign off on the booked liability can be difficult without robust actuarial support to back it up.

Financial Planning

The points issued in future months will have a different cost than those issued this month; properly anticipating these changes is critical to building an accurate financial plan.

Scenario Testing Business Decisions

It is difficult to predict the impact of business decisions and program strategies on future redemption costs, making it hard make the optimal decision with confidence.

Cashflow Management

Maintaining the right level of liquidity to cover anticipated redemption costs is a challenging actuarial prediction, particularly with the added cash constraints due to COVID-19.

Pricing Points

Pricing points sold to partners to ensure the right level of profitability is a complex actuarial analysis.

Predicting Customer Lifetime Value

Predicted redemption cost is a critical input into customer Lifetime Value (CLV). Before you can accurately predict CLV, you must have accurate redemption cost models.

Inaccurate Estimates of Redemption Cost Can Have Huge Impacts

The root of these business issues is the challenge of accurately predicting redemption costs, which is often the single largest expense in a loyalty program business model. Getting it wrong can completely a flip the profitability picture.
