We are proud to announce that Mastercard was named a Representative Vendor in the September 2023 Gartner Market Guide for Loyalty Program Vendors. We believe this is a powerful step forward in our work toward building a loyalty program that drives customer acquisition and retention.

According to this report, “By 2026, customer loyalty programs that offer a mix of transactional and experiential benefits will displace programs that solely focus on just offering customers points.” Further, “One in three businesses without a loyalty program today will establish one by 2027 to shore up first-party data collection and retain high-priority customers.”
