Paid / subscription loyalty

Paid or subscription loyalty is a program shoppers pay to join, a membership fee or subscription that unlocks richer benefits, rather than a free-to-enter scheme funded only by margin.

Paid or subscription loyalty is a program shoppers pay to join, a membership fee or subscription that unlocks richer benefits, rather than a free-to-enter scheme funded only by margin.

The paid model selects for committed customers and creates a recurring relationship rather than a one-off sign-up. McKinsey finds paid loyalty members spend around 60% more than free members after subscribing. For operators it is one lever among several, and which model fits depends on the destination's mix and goals.
