- Achievements are attached to a profile for the lifetime of their relationship with the brand
- Achievements can operate independently or in conjunction with the broader incentive suite
Structure: counts and levels
An Achievement is made up of: Counts: increments that go up by 1 each time a qualifying event occurs. Counts are tracked automatically via Omneo events or via the Achievements API. Levels: thresholds defined within an Achievement. When a Count crosses a Level threshold, the customer “levels up.” Levelling up can trigger other incentives (Rewards, Benefits).Level strategies
Brands can structure achievements in different ways:Achievement visibility
Achievements can be configured with different visibility modes:Achievements vs tiers
When to use achievements
Achievements are most effective when:- You want to reward engagement beyond spending (profile completion, referrals, event attendance)
- Your tier program is getting overly complex: Achievements can handle non-financial milestones separately
- You want to create a sense of discovery and progress for customers
