Lower redemption amount

[Dolphin12]

Would it benefit you to have a variety of redemption amounts?

I would like to see lower amounts for those who would like to cash in more frequently. For example cash in at $5 & $10.

On the flipside, perhaps some would like to cash in with higher amounts. For example cash in at $25 & $30.

Could the system be set to cash out in 5 or 10 dollar increments? Or better yet offer the incremental amounts plus an option for the customer to fill in an amount based on what's in "their rewards bank".

I wish! But it's a marketing gimmick to force you stay a little longer to accumulate to 15 points and visit the web page

I think this is a great idea. Being able to redeem sooner than later would be great.

@EB0 maybe not but it doesn't hurt to put the thought out there.

@Dolphin12 

I don’t think it’s going to be implemented anytime soon.

@Phil_Adelphus I get that it can work by redeeming points as you pointed out I was simply suggesting having this done in one transaction towards a reduction in price.

@golfball I'm hoping that the Oracles see this post and perhaps bring it up during a conversation. Change is inevitable I'm hoping this suggestion will one day become reality. If you don't put it out there it will never happen.

@ottawa never say never. A company can introduce new things at anytime. We have seen this in the past with the reintroduction of plans ($34 US/CAD plan). 

I'm trying to be optimistic by throwing it out there.

Not going to happen. The goal (for the vendor) is to leave Points (money) on the table. Taking a year (on a hypothetical $25 plan) to earn enough to redeem for bill credit means if you bail for a great deal, you're leaving on average $7.50 on the table (anywhere from $0 to $15).

Or put another way, how would that be better for PM?

[golfball]

Restricting bill credits to only increments of 15 is most likely a purposeful decision to slow down the rate of redemption and increase friction. There's no incentive to make it easier.

@Dolphin12   For example cash in at $25 & $30.

You can already do $30 although it means redeeming 15 points twice.  Lower amounts than 15 points can be redeemed but only for add ons.  If you don't need add ons that's not much help.

@SpeakingTruth what do you mean? Initial it would take some programming but once implemented it would change.

They could even leave it at $15 but add a radio button of sorts for us to fill in the amount we want to cash in.

Unfortunately, that's too much work for our team.
