Overview

Understanding how customers leave feedback on their Perkstar loyalty cards helps you appreciate the feedback process and guide customers who need assistance. This article explains the customer-facing feedback experience on both iOS and Android devices, so you can support customers and encourage participation in your feedback programme.

What customers can do:

  • Rate their experience with 1-5 stars directly on their loyalty card

  • Provide additional written feedback for ratings below 5 stars

  • Access external review links (Google, Yelp, etc.) if you've configured them

  • Submit feedback quickly and conveniently from their device

Why understanding the customer process matters:

  • Help customers who have questions about leaving feedback

  • Troubleshoot issues when customers can't find feedback options

  • Train staff to guide customers through the process

  • Encourage higher feedback participation rates

  • Set proper expectations about what customers experience

Before You Begin

Requirements for customers to leave feedback:

  • Customer must have loyalty card installed (Apple Wallet or Android)

  • Feedback feature must be enabled on your card configuration

  • Customer needs recent visit or transaction experience

  • External review links only show if you configured them during card creation

  • Process differs slightly between iOS and Android

  2. Locates your business's loyalty card

  3. Taps the card to view it fully

How customers might access the card:

  • From notification if you sent feedback request push

  • By opening Wallet and finding card

  • Double-clicking iPhone side button (if card is default)

Step 2: Customer Accesses Three-Dot Menu

Navigation process:

What customers see in Pass Details:

  • Card information and description

  • External review links (if you added them)

Step 4: Customer Taps "Leave Your Feedback"

Starting the feedback process:

  1. Customer scrolls to find "Leave Your Feedback" button

  2. Taps the button

  3. Feedback form opens with star rating interface

Button appearance:

  • Clearly labeled (text you configured or default)

  • Prominently displayed

  • May include feedback icon

Step 5: Customer Rates with Stars

Star rating interface:

Customer sees 5 stars and taps to rate:

  • 1 star = Very dissatisfied

  • 2 stars = Dissatisfied

  • 3 stars = Neutral/Average

  • 4 stars = Satisfied

  • 5 stars = Very satisfied/Excellent

Customer interaction:

  • Taps desired number of stars

  • Stars fill in or change color when selected

  • Can change selection before submitting

Step 6: Text Feedback Appears (For Ratings Below 5 Stars)

Automatic text box behavior:

If customer selects 1-4 stars:

  • Text box automatically appears

  • Prompts customer to explain their rating

  • Allows detailed written feedback

  • Helps you understand specific issues

If customer selects 5 stars:

  • No text box appears

  • Customer proceeds directly to submit

  • Streamlined experience for positive feedback

What customers typically include in text feedback:

For 4-star ratings (satisfied but room for improvement):

  • Minor issues: "Great service but wait time was a bit long"

  • Suggestions: "Love everything but wish you had more vegan options"

  • Specific feedback: "Food excellent, but restaurant was cold"

For 3-star ratings (average experience):

For 1-star ratings (very poor):

  • Serious problems: "Staff was rude when I mentioned the issue"

  • Major failures: "Waited 45 minutes, food was still wrong, no apology"

  • Unacceptable experiences: "Unsanitary conditions, very disappointed"

Step 7: Customer Sends Feedback

Submission process:

  1. After rating (and entering text if applicable), customer taps "Send"

  2. Feedback submits to your system

  3. Confirmation message may appear

  4. Feedback form closes

What happens on your end:

  • You receive the rating in your dashboard

  • Text feedback (if provided) appears with the rating

  • Feedback shows in your Feedback Rating section

  • Low ratings appear in "Dissatisfied Members" list

Step 8: External Feedback Links (If Configured)

Common options you might have configured:

  • "Leave a Google Review"

  • "Rate us on Yelp"

  • "Review on TripAdvisor"

  • "Share on Facebook"

  • Other platforms you added

What these buttons do:

  • Open external websites or apps

  • Direct customer to your business's page on that platform

  • Allow customer to leave public reviews

  • Separate from internal loyalty card feedback

Customer behavior:

  • Some customers click through to leave public reviews

  • Many skip these (internal feedback is sufficient)

  • 5-star customers more likely to leave public reviews

  • You can track clicks in "Feedback on Services" metric

Troubleshooting Customer Issues

"Customer Can't Find Feedback Button"

Common causes:

Feedback not enabled:

  • Check your card configuration

  • Ensure feedback collection is activated

  • If disabled, enable in card settings

Customer looking in wrong place:

  • Guide them: Three dots → Pass Details → Leave Your Feedback

  • Not on main card view

  • Inside Pass Details specifically

Card needs updating:

  • If you recently enabled feedback, customer's card may need refresh

  • Send a push notification to trigger card update

  • Or ask customer to remove and reinstall card

"Customer Says Feedback Won't Submit"

Troubleshooting steps:

Check customer's internet:

  • Feedback requires internet connection (Wi-Fi or data)

  • Ask customer to check connection and try again

Try again later:

  • Temporary technical glitch

  • Ask customer to try in a few minutes

  • Or accept feedback verbally/via email

Card sync issue:

  • Customer can try closing and reopening app

  • Or remove and reinstall card

  • Contact support if problem persists

"Customer Wants to Change Submitted Feedback"

Current limitation:

Warning: Feedback submissions are typically final and cannot be edited after submission.

  • Contact you directly to explain (you see original but appreciate context)

For you:

  • Note customer's follow-up explanation

  • Update your records manually if needed

  • Focus on resolving their concern rather than the rating itself

"Customer Left Wrong Rating Accidentally"

If they haven't clicked Send yet:

  • Customer can leave new feedback next visit

  • Consider this when addressing their feedback

Frequently Asked Questions

Do customers know their feedback is visible to us?
Yes, feedback is understood to go to the business. It's private (only you see it), not public like Google reviews. Customers provide it to help you improve.

Can we prevent customers from leaving low ratings?
No, and you shouldn't want to. Honest feedback (including negative) helps you improve. All customers can rate their genuine experience.

How do we see customer text feedback?
In your Dashboard → Feedback Rating section → Dissatisfied Members list. Click on individual feedback to read their comments.

What if a customer leaves unfair or abusive feedback?
You can't delete it, but you can: (1) Reach out to understand their perspective, (2) Attempt service recovery, (3) Keep feedback for your internal records. Patterns matter more than individual outliers.

Should we incentivize feedback with rewards?
It can increase participation rates significantly. Consider: "Rate your visit, earn 50 bonus points!" However, ensure rewards don't bias ratings—customers should feel free to be honest.

Can customers leave feedback without visiting?
Technically yes (if they have the card), but most feedback comes after actual visits. Automated feedback requests trigger after transactions, which naturally ties feedback to visits.

How often can a customer leave feedback?
As often as they want—after each visit if desired. This is good! Multiple feedback points show trends (consistent quality or declining service).

What if we don't want text feedback, just star ratings?
The text box automatically appears for ratings below 5 stars—this is system behavior and helps you understand issues. You can choose not to read text feedback, but it's valuable for improvement.

Can we customize the feedback questions?
The standard interface is star ratings + text box. For custom feedback questions, you'd need external survey tools linked via the external feedback links.

How do external review links work?
If you added Google, Yelp, or other review platform links during card creation, buttons appear after customers submit internal feedback, directing them to leave public reviews on those platforms.
