More than a loyalty card.
A retention platform.
Costless Loyalty 5+1 is a customer-retention platform for small and medium businesses.

Six earning modes, tiered products, magic-link onboarding, two-sided fraud protection, 19 languages. Free forever for 1 location, no app or hardware required.
Collect stamps by QR, then see who's about to churn, win lapsed customers back automatically, and reward birthdays on autopilot. RFM analytics plus retention automation, all from one dashboard. Free forever for 1 location, no app.

Loyalty Card Features
Versatile tools designed to keep your customers coming back for more.
No App Download
Customers scan a QR code in any browser — no app download, no registration required. Works on any smartphone instantly.
Magic Link Onboarding
First-time visitors don't lose stamps. Customer scans QR, enters email, receives a magic link — stamps are saved and applied when they register. Zero friction for new customers.
QR Code System
Secure single-use QR codes with 90-second countdown. PIN code alternative — 4 digits that work without a camera. Both methods are one-time use.
Fraud Protection
Two-sided protection: customer scans barista's QR for stamps, barista scans customer's QR for redemption. Birthday change protection, max stamps per transaction, single-use tokens.
Stamp Collection
Classic N+1 model: buy 5, get 1 free. Six stamp modes — from simple per-purchase to spend-based accumulation. Configure how many bonuses are awarded per threshold.
Tiered Products
Unlimited reward tiers with product images and prices. Customers who reach higher tiers can redeem any lower-tier product. Baristas see images for easy identification.
Spend-Based Rewards
Two spend models: accumulate total spend across visits (e.g. every $500 — a bonus), or earn stamps per visit based on amount (e.g. $500 spent, $200 per stamp = 2 stamps).
Customer Chooses Reward
At redemption, the customer selects which product or service to receive. The barista confirms availability or declines — the customer can then pick a different option.
Barista Dashboard
Mobile-friendly interface: generate QR codes, see product images and prices, confirm or decline redemptions. Assign baristas to specific locations.
Real-Time Analytics
Track active cards, stamp rates, redemption patterns, and customer engagement from your admin dashboard.
Streak Rewards
Bonus stamps for consecutive visits within a time window. Motivates regular customer engagement.
Birthday Rewards
Automatic birthday bonuses for loyal customers. Protected against birthday date manipulation — customers cannot change their birth date to exploit rewards.

Start FreeFrequently Asked Questions
What is the Loyalty 51 program?
Loyalty 51 is a digital loyalty platform that replaces paper punch cards. Customers earn stamps by scanning QR codes or entering a PIN code after each purchase. Six stamp modes support different business types — from simple per-purchase to spend-based accumulation. When the card is full, the customer chooses a reward and the barista confirms it. Works in any browser, no app download needed. Supports 19 languages.
How much does Costless Loyalty cost?
Costless Loyalty is free forever for 1 location with up to 2 baristas. For multiple locations, extended analytics, tiered rewards, streak and birthday bonuses — paid plans are available starting from $12/month.
Is any special hardware required?
No. The barista generates a QR code from any device with a browser (phone, tablet, or computer). The customer scans it with their phone camera. No POS integration, no printers, no additional devices needed.
How does a customer receive stamps?
After a purchase, the barista generates a unique QR code from the barista dashboard. The customer scans it with their phone camera — the stamp is added automatically. Alternatively, a 4-digit PIN code can be used if the camera is unavailable. QR codes are single-use with a 90-second countdown. If the customer isn't registered yet, they enter their email and receive a magic link — stamps are saved and applied upon registration.
Can I customize the card design?
Yes. Upload your own program images, bonus item photos, tier product images with prices, and stamp icons. Every customer-facing element matches your brand. Campaign names and descriptions can be set in 19 languages. Branding customization is available on all plans, including free.
What types of businesses can use 5+1?
Any business with repeat customers: cafes, coffee shops, bakeries, beauty salons, fitness studios, retail stores, and service providers. The system supports stamp-based (N+1), tiered, and spend-based loyalty models.
How can I view loyalty program analytics?
The admin dashboard provides real-time analytics: active cards, stamp collection rates, redemption patterns, customer engagement, and per-location performance. All data is accessible from any device.
How is the loyalty program protected from fraud?
Two-sided verification: when collecting stamps, the customer scans the barista's QR. When redeeming, the barista scans the customer's QR or enters their PIN, then confirms or declines. All QR codes are single-use with a 90-second expiry. Birthday date changes are blocked to prevent bonus abuse. A configurable max stamps per transaction prevents bulk stamp fraud.
What is a digital loyalty card?
A digital loyalty card replaces the traditional paper punch card with a browser-based system. Instead of carrying a physical card, customers scan a QR code after each purchase to collect stamps — everything is stored on their phone with no app download required. Costless Loyalty 51 supports six stamp modes, spend-based rewards, tiered products, streak bonuses, and birthday rewards — all manageable from a single admin dashboard.
Which loyalty program works best for a coffee shop?
The classic stamp card model is ideal for coffee shops: buy 5 coffees, get the 6th free. With Costless Loyalty 51 you can set any threshold, use tiered products so Latte regulars get a free Latte instead of an Espresso, add birthday bonuses, and enable streak rewards for consecutive daily visits. The barista dashboard generates QR codes in one tap — no hardware or POS integration needed. Free to start for 1 location.
