Member Inquiry - ltmemberinquiry

This section describes the message parameters for Loyalty Card Member Inquiry transaction processing, which you can submit using the XML API integration method. Refer to the Integration Methods section for more information.

The ltmemberinquiry transaction determines if a payment card or phone number is registered to a member and has any current offers or rewards available for redemption.

If the loyalty card is associated with the loyalty program and has points, rewards or discounts available, the cardholder can opt to use the rewards towards the current sale. In this case, a new Transaction Amount is calculated.

If the loyalty card or the phone number is not enrolled and the cardholder wishes to enroll, the application can link the card or phone number using Loyalty Card Enrollment (ltenrollment).
