Manage it without paper
Issue a digital card with the member's photo, category and expiry date. Your team checks at a glance whether it's active, and renewals update the card on the phone.
Price it right
Calculate how often a typical member will use the benefit and make sure the fee covers it with margin. Start with one level before adding tiers.
Practical checklist
- Define one clear benefit
- Set price and validity
- Issue digital cards with photo
- Review usage after the first month
