You can edit the reward expiration email  content under  Settings - Emails - Reward Expiry Reminder

Applies to 

Only applicable for Shopify and Woocommerce platform.

This setting will allow you to restrict the application of the generated coupon code to only selected collections/categories in the store.

Shopify: The collection IDs will have to be entered in the setting (not the collection tag).

Woocommerce: The category IDs will have to be entered in the setting.

Earning/Redeem Limit

This feature is only available on the premium plan and above.

This setting will allow you to determine the limit of the earning/spending rule based on a time period (lifetime/year/month/week/day).

For example, you can set up a promotion to allow customers earn an additional 1000 points for their first purchase made in the store. This would be a one-time offer for each customer account, hence it can be set to have an earning limit of once per lifetime:

Another example would be to set up a big discount coupon that is redeemable once per month, to prevent abuse of the coupon and also make it more exclusive for customers to strive for:

Effective Dates

You can specify a date range in which a specific earning/spending rule will be effective, this is especially useful if there are campaigns planned in the store for special occasions/events.

For example, you can offer bonus points for purchases made during the New Year, by setting the effective date of the earning rule from 01/01/2021 to 02/01/2021

Any rules outside of the effective date will be inactive and hidden within the launcher and widgets.
