hourglass_empty
Too slow to reward — the payoff feels too far away.
account_tree
Too complicated — rules nobody wants to learn.
grid_view
Too fragmented — a different card for every shop.
bedtime
Too passive — it waits to be remembered.
person_off
No recognition — regulars are treated like strangers.

visibility
Visible progress — you can see the next reward.
bolt
Simple mechanics — one rule, understood at a glance.
autorenew
Automatic tracking — nothing to carry or scan.
apps
One place for everything — every merchant, one app.
waving_hand
Personal recognition — your local, remembered.
