Loyalty points redemption rate by enrollment cohort age

“Is the growing points liability just a 'young programme, redemptions lag issuance' phase that will level out, or do even our oldest member cohorts still show a structurally low redemption rate?”

Fictional people at a fictional company, each played by a language-model agent. Who they are and what they are told

1. A business event lands on the Head of Lifecycle Marketing's desk

   Week 1; shared with Tobias Lindqvist, Chief Financial Officer

   Is the loyalty and referral programme worth it? Do members and referred customers behave differently from others, and what does the programme cost?

   One of the 35 events we wrote for the role play; it shaped the manager's first note. How events arise · All the events

   The manager, at the start of week 2

   Subject: Re: Loyalty & referral — thank you, and where to dig next

   Ingrid, this is excellent — especially catching that the refund-rate gap was a vertical mix artifact. Good instinct to go back and break that out rather than let the scary headline stand.

   What surprised me most, and what I want explained before we take this to Tobias as a joint recommendation: a 19.4% cost-to-member-revenue ratio is strikingly high, and members showing lower revenue and order counts than non-members is the opposite of what a loyalty programme is supposed to produce. I don't want to present "the programme loses money" to leadership until I understand whether that's a true causal effect or another mix artifact like the refund rate turned out to be — since 72% of members sit in one vertical, I'm wary of a second apples-to-oranges comparison hiding in there.

   Questions for this week, in my own words:

   1. Within Apparel alone — since that's where almost all members live — do members still look worse off than similar non-member customers in that same vertical, once we also account for how long they've been customers? That's the comparison I actually trust as a verdict on the programme.
   2. Is the growing points liability a timing issue or a real design flaw? I want to understand whether we're simply in a "young programme, redemptions lag issuance" phase that will level out, or whether the redemption rate structurally understates true future cost — i.e., should I expect that €491k to keep climbing indefinitely at this pace.
   3. Can we fix the redemption-to-order linkage well enough to test the gaming hypothesis properly? That was left untested, not cleared, and it's exactly the kind of finding that would change my recommendation, so I'd like one more serious attempt before we call it inconclusive for good.
   4. If the member economics do hold up as genuinely negative, is there a design change that would plausibly fix it — rather than only "keep, cut, or extend to B2B" as the choice — are there any patterns in how the better-performing members (if any exist) use the programme differently from the rest? I don't need a redesign from you, just whether the data shows any sign of what a healthier version would look like.

   The B2B extension question can wait — I agree we shouldn't open that door until we trust the member economics number. Let's keep that out of this week's slots unless there's room left over.

   Thanks again, Ingrid — this is exactly the kind of rigor I want from this team.

   Best, Aisha

3. Ingrid Solberg plans the night

   The analyst · week 2, night 1, request 2 of 3

   Aisha's push is right: with 72% of members in one vertical, the revenue/order gap could be a second Simpson's-paradox case just like refunds were. Tonight I'm prioritizing her questions 1-3 in order since she explicitly ranked the apparel-only comparison as the one she'll trust as a verdict, and flagged the liability trajectory and the redemption-linkage retest as the two things that could change the recommendation. Before rebuilding the gaming-hypothesis join (which returned zero matches last time), I'm first running a cheap diagnostic on whether order_id is ever populated on redemption-direction loyalty_transactions at all - if it's structurally never set, I need a different join strategy (e.g. time-proximity matching) rather than repeating the same failed approach, and I'd rather spend a slot finding that out now than waste a bigger request later. Holding question 4 (what better-performing members look like) and the B2B question for later nights, per Aisha's explicit deprioritization.

6. What came of it

   The memo and the queries that followed; links found by title, so inferred

   Ingrid Solberg's memo to Aisha Rahman at the end of the week:

   • 3. The programme's real cost is concentrated, and richer than I reported last week. The engaged 17% (225 members) have redeemed €177.8k against €434k of their own revenue — a 40.95% effective discount rate, well above the 19.4% blended figure. The other 83% cost nothing in cash but carry €323.6k in paper liability that, per cohort-aging data, mostly never gets claimed (redemption rates plateau at 32–37% even for 3-year-old cohorts). (Reports: "Loyalty unit economics: ever-redeemed vs never-redeemed"; "Loyalty points redemption rate by enrollment cohort age.")

   • The request, as Grace received it

     Report request from Ingrid Solberg (analyst for the Head of Lifecycle Marketing):
     
     Title: Loyalty points redemption rate by enrollment cohort age
     Question: Is the growing points liability just a 'young programme, redemptions lag issuance' phase that will level out, or do even our oldest member cohorts still show a structurally low redemption rate?
     Grain: one row per loyalty_accounts enrollment cohort, grouped by the calendar quarter the member enrolled
     Columns:
     - enrollment_quarter
     - member_count
     - months_since_cohort_quarter_start
     - total_points_earned_value_eur
     - total_points_redeemed_value_eur
     - lifetime_redemption_rate_pct
     Details: Group loyalty_accounts by the calendar quarter of enrolled_at (2023-Q1 through 2025-Q4). member_count = distinct accounts in that cohort. months_since_cohort_quarter_start = number of months between that quarter's start date and 2025-12-31 (fixed reference, so older cohorts show a higher number, e.g. 2023-Q1 to 2025-12-31 is about 36 months). For each cohort's members, total_points_earned_value_eur = lifetime sum of 'earn'-direction loyalty_transactions converted to currency via the account's program points_per_currency and currency_code, then to EUR via exchange_rates as_of occurred_at (same method as the earlier cost-by-month and unit-economics reports). total_points_redeemed_value_eur = same conversion for non-'earn'-direction transactions. lifetime_redemption_rate_pct = total_points_redeemed_value_eur divided by total_points_earned_value_eur as a percentage. Order by enrollment_quarter ascending (oldest cohort first) so the trend across cohort age is easy to read.

   • GraceSubmitted. The report gives one row per enrollment-quarter cohort (2023-Q1 through 2025-Q4) with member counts, cohort age in months, lifetime EUR-converted points earned/redeemed, and the resulting redemption rate — ordered oldest cohort first so Ingrid can read the trend directly to see whether redemption rate rises with cohort age or stays structurally flat even for the oldest cohorts.
