Awarding Entry Rewards for Surpassed VIP Tiers

Let customers receive entry rewards for each VIP tier they pass during a single jump, while still landing on the highest qualifying tier.

Written by Stuart Chaney

Introduction

If a customer qualifies for a much higher VIP tier in one step, they can skip over one or more middle tiers. By default, only the highest tier’s entry rewards are granted in that scenario.
​

When you enable Award entry rewards for every VIP tier passed in a single promotion , Rivo also grants the skipped-tier entry rewards, one time per tier.

✨ VIP Tiers are available on plans that include the VIP Tiers feature.

How surpassed-tier rewards work

When this setting is turned on:

  • Customers still move directly to their highest qualifying tier.

  • Entry rewards are also granted for each tier they passed on the way there.

  • Each tier’s entry rewards are only granted once, so previously earned tiers are not rewarded again.

For example, if a customer jumps from Bronze to Gold in one qualification event, they can receive both Silver and Gold entry rewards.
​

What counts as “entry rewards”

Entry rewards can include:

  • VIP tier rewards attached to that tier

  • VIP upgrade points or credits for that tier (if configured)

If a tier has no entry reward configured, there is nothing to grant for that tier.
​

Important behavior to know

  • Enabling this setting does not immediately reprocess all customers.

  • It applies when customers next qualify for a tier change.

  • If a customer already earned a tier in the past, that tier’s entry rewards are not granted again.

  1. Go to Loyalty > VIP Tiers.

Best practices

  • Configure clear entry rewards for each VIP tier so skipped-tier rewards feel intentional.

  • If you use upgrade points or credits, confirm each tier has the right amount set before enabling the setting.

  • Review your tier thresholds to avoid accidental large jumps you did not intend.

FAQ

Do customers move through each intermediate tier one by one?
​

​

Will customers get duplicate rewards if they already earned that tier before?
​

No. Entry rewards are only granted once per tier.
​

Does turning this on apply retroactively to all past tier jumps?
​

No. It applies to future qualification events after the setting is enabled.
