9.1 luca’s loyalty program is a bonus program as part of luca’s digital payment option. If users have created a user account to use the luca app, they automatically participate in the loyalty program. As an incentive to use the services, luca offers users the opportunity to receive certain benefits in an amount previously determined by luca through certain activities on or in connection with the services (“Loyalty points“). Activities that entitle you to loyalty points may include, for example, making a payment via the luca app, registering for one of the services or recruiting users. luca reserves the right to decide at its own commercial discretion on what occasion and to what extent loyalty points are offered and can be redeemed by users.

If, for example, users wish to pay an operator for services worth €20.00 via the luca app and are offered the option of using loyalty points, users can use, for example, 200 loyalty points to ensure that only €18.00 is charged to the user’s payment instrument instead of €20.00.
