Activity Frequency Limits: Check the Limit the Number of Times Each Customer Can Earn This Reward box if you want to limit how many times a customer can complete this earn rule per given interval of time (days, weeks, months, years, or lifetime).
Customer Eligibility: Use Allow Customers by Tags (e.g., Gold Customers) to restrict the Earn Rule to only apply to customers with the specified tags.
Customer Restrictions: Use Restrict Customers by Tags (e.g., New Customers) to deny certain subsets of your customer base from taking advantage of this Earn Rule

Use Cases
Now let’s talk about use cases. In other words, what kinds of situations would this earn rule prove useful for you, as the merchant?
The main one is exposure. By awarding points upon sign up, you can introduce your customers to your store’s products, new launches, and so on, on the front end. Afterwards, they can purchase, if they choose to do so.
Please note that it is essential for a customer to have an account and be logged into it on your store for them to be able to take advantage of this. Our loyalty application will not be able to track general visitors, as it will not know the account to assign points to.
