Buy XYZ, Get $ Off Instantly

This promotion type is only supported for Bulloch loyalty programs and requires Go Loyalty product subscription for every location where the loyalty promotion should be available.

The Buy XYZ, Get $ Off Instantly promotion gives customers with a loyalty card a discount when they buy at least one item from every preconfigured item group. The promoted items are generally related to each other. For example, the Buy XYZ, Get $ Off Instantly promotion can be used for the following campaigns:

  • Buy a pizza roll and coke and get $1.00 off the price.
  • Buy a hamburger and fountain drink at $7.95.

To set up a Buy XYZ, Get $ Off Instantly promotion, you need to create several groups of items that will take part in the promotion, for example, a Pizza Rolls group and a Coke group. For each created group, you need to set up a separate discount. The Buy XYZ, Get $ Off Instantly promotion allows a new, specified price for promoted items applied as a total for all promoted items in a promo group.
