## Reward catalog templates

Start with **2–4 options**:

| Reward | Points cost | Notes |
|--------|------------:|------|
| $5 off | 500 | predictable cost; cap per order |
| Free shipping | 300 | add min cart $X |
| Free mini | 400 | great trial + upsell |
| Full-size (optional) | 1200+ | only if margin allows |

Avoid too many options at launch; keep value obvious.

## Empties rules

- **Eligible items**: define which containers count (full-size vs minis; product categories).
- **Reward per empty**: points per container; optionally higher for full-size.
- **Caps**: set a monthly cap per account to prevent abuse.
- **Timing**: consider awarding points after verification (or after next purchase) if fraud risk is high.

## Verification and anti-abuse

Common guardrails:

- One account per person.
- Photo verification (label visible + cut mark) or QR token per drop-off.
- Caps (e.g. 10 full-size/month).
- Points reversed on refunds/returns.
- No rewards tied to positive review ratings.

## Copy patterns (EN)

- Homepage: "Recycle your empties. Earn points."
- PDP: "Return this empty for +50 points."
- Post-purchase: "Finished your cleanser? Return the empty for points on your next order."
- FAQ line: "Points are awarded after verification; limits apply to prevent abuse."
