description: The customer-facing loyalty rewards page in the WooCommerce My Account area.
---

Every other page in this section covers something you configure  this one covers what your customers actually see. PointBay adds a rewards page to each customer's WooCommerce **My Account** area, called **My Rewards**, where they can check their points balance and history, plus their personal referral link if referrals are enabled  and, with PointBay Pro, their VIP tier progress too. It's worth reviewing yourself so you know exactly what your customers experience.

---

## How It Works

When PointBay is active, a **My Rewards** link appears in the customer's My Account menu, right after Orders, at a URL like `https://yourstore.com/my-account/my-rewards/`. The page is only visible to logged-in customers; a guest who follows the link is sent to the usual WooCommerce login screen first. The page itself is headed **My Loyalty Rewards**.

## Walkthrough: See What a Customer Sees

1. Log in as (or impersonate) a customer account, and go to **My Account → My Rewards**.
2. Check the **Current Balance** card  it shows the customer's available points as a large number.

3. Check the **Recent History** table  it lists the customer's latest points activity with **Date**, **Description**, and **Points** columns; credits are shown with a `+` and debits with a `-`. A brand-new customer with no activity yet simply sees "No activity yet."

4. If [VIP Tiers](/pointbay/features/vip-tiers/) are enabled, check the tier badge and multiplier shown below the balance.

5. If the [Referral Program](/pointbay/features/referral-program/) is enabled, check the **Refer a Friend** card and confirm the referral link and bonus amount are correct.

## What Customers See

### Current balance

A **Current Balance** card shows the customer's available points as a large figure, always up to date with the latest earn, redeem, or reversal.

### Recent history

A **Recent History** table lists the customer's latest points activity. New customers with no activity yet see "No activity yet." instead of an empty table.

### VIP tier progress

:::note[Pro feature]
The tier badge appears only when [VIP Tiers](/pointbay/features/vip-tiers/) are enabled in **PointBay Pro**.
:::

Members see a tier badge (for example, "Gold Member"), their earning multiplier (for example, "1.5× Earning Multiplier"), and a hint showing how many more points they need to reach the next tier.

### Refer-a-friend card

:::note
The **Refer a Friend** card is a free-plugin feature  it appears whenever **Enable Referrals** is turned on in [Referral Program](/pointbay/features/referral-program/) settings, with or without Pro active.
:::

Customers get their personal referral link in a read-only field with a one-click **Copy URL** button to share with friends. The card's message updates itself to match your settings  it reads "Share this link with your friends. When they make their first purchase, you get **N** bonus points!" where N is whatever you've set **Referral Bonus Points** to, so you never need to edit this copy by hand.

## Edge Cases & Interactions

- A customer with a negative balance (from a reversal exceeding their remaining points  see [Earning Points](/pointbay/features/earning-points/#refunds-and-reversals)) sees that negative number plainly on their Current Balance card, not zero.
- The dashboard reflects manual adjustments made from [Manual Adjustments](/pointbay/admin/manual-adjustments/) the same way it reflects automatic activity  customers can't tell the difference from their side.

---

## Troubleshooting

- **A customer says they don't see "My Rewards" in their account menu**  confirm they're logged in; logged-out visitors don't see any account menu items at all, loyalty-related or otherwise.
- **The tier badge or referral card is missing**  confirm the corresponding setting (**Enable VIP Tiers**, Pro-only, or **Enable Referrals**, free) is actually turned on; both cards hide themselves entirely when their feature is off rather than showing an empty state.

See [Troubleshooting](/pointbay/resources/troubleshooting/) for more general issues.
