Example. Trip receipt.

Technical approach. Batch processing — typically scheduled jobs running on the cloud data warehouse with downstream activation via reverse-ETL or vendor-native destinations.

Why this is comfortable territory. Most cloud data-warehouse-based composable stacks naturally land here without exotic infrastructure. Cost-per-activation drops sharply versus streaming tiers above.

Loyalty personalization requires intra-day freshness: POS spend events must reach the CDW profile and trigger tier/points recalculation within hours so that offer-presentation (in-app, next visit) reflects current loyalty status. Daily-batch loyalty is below-acceptable for modern programs where members expect same-day acknowledgment of qualifying spend; intra-session latency exceeds the architecture requirements (triggers are cross-channel, not within the active session).
