Eliminate loyalty program overhead.

Kard’s API-first loyalty rails eliminate the expense of building and maintaining in-house rewards while giving you full flexibility to design the kind of program you’ve always wanted. As cardholders make a purchase, Kard’s Matching Engine automatically maps each transaction to a potential reward so your engineers don’t have to.

Customizable templates and an intuitive UI make it easy to cater your rewards experience to every cardholder without compromising compliance or security. Kard doesn’t require any PII from your cardholders and is SOC 2 and PCI compliant. The best part? You have complete control over offer rev share.

FAQs

Ready to get started, have a question or just want to say hi? We’d love to hear from you.

What cardholder data can Kard collect?

Kard collects the card-holder’s email, unique user id OR username of user from issuer, and zipcode.

How does Kard handle REVERSED, RETURNED, REFUND transactions?

For reversed transactions that occur before settlement, Kard will not issue a reward as we only distribute rewards for settled transactions.

For returned transactions that occur after settlement, Kard will honor the reward. Kard does not reverse any reward payments once they have been paid to the Issuer for a settled transaction.

Note: Kard actively monitors incoming transactions to identify bad actors attempting to “game the system” through reversed transactions. Cardholders who make an inordinate amount of returns on rewarded transactions will be flagged and possibly removed from the rewards program. *Only relevant for issuers who are sending this data to Kard.

What’s the difference between the GET Offers and GET Eligible Offers ?

The GET Offers endpoint returns baseline offers for all cardholders, while the GET Eligible Offers endpoint represents our newest product functionality, returning user-specific offers to the cardholder.

How frequently should I call Kard for offers?

The platform is designed for real-time API calls to provide the most up-to-date Offers.

How can I curate the offers available in my rewards program?

Most of our partners find that using the entire Kard ecosystem benefits their rewards program the most. Please work with your Account Manager to discuss customization options.
