loyalty points

Earned shopping rewards

Loyalty points are credits earned through purchases or engagement with a business, redeemable for rewards, discounts, or future purchases.

Airlines, hotels, and retailers use them to encourage repeat customers: I've saved enough loyalty points for a free flight.

The programs vary widely in value—some points are worth pursuing, others barely worth tracking.
