The Mexican market

What a loyalty program has to handle in Mexico.

In Mexico a program usually runs nationwide, the balance is spent like money and a privacy notice is mandatory. That defines what to require from the platform.

  • A balance that works as stored value

    Many members expect to spend their balance like money. Paying with points needs hold, capture and reversal, and liability in pesos that's always current.

  • Nationwide scale

    A program that works in one city has to work in a hundred: identification and rewards can't depend on the branch.

  • Everyday partners

    Fuel, repair shops, insurance, gyms, food and mobile plans: the perks members actually use often come from partners.

  • Privacy notice

    Mexico's federal law on personal data held by private parties requires a privacy notice and consent. The program has to record both by channel.

  • “Programa de lealtad”

    It's the usual name in Mexico, along with “monedero electrónico” when the balance is spent like money. Use it in member communications.

What to require

The questions to choose a platform in Mexico.

Before you choose, ask the vendor to show each point in production, not in a slide deck.

RequirementWhat to look for
Can members pay with their balance?Hold, capture and reversal of the balance, with split payment (points plus another method) in the web and app checkout.
Is liability in pesos always current?Liability by store, campaign and expiration in real time, not at month-end close.
What is the latency at payment?Identification and reward decision in milliseconds, measured in percentiles (p95), not averages.
What happens if it goes down?Sales aren't blocked: earning is queued and posted when the service is back.
Does it record consent by channel?With the date, source and version of the privacy notice text.
Where does the data live?In the vendor's cloud or yours, with the provider and region you choose.
Does it run programs at national scale?A case with reach across many cities that you can review.
Who implements it?An in-house team that knows the product, with time to production in months.

FAQ

What people ask about loyalty in Mexico.

For marketing, loyalty, technology and finance teams at Mexican companies.

It depends on the program. A large company needs a platform that decides the reward at payment, lets members pay with their balance, scales nationwide and records privacy notice consent. Qurable is one of them: Soy Rappi ran on Qurable across 100 cities in Mexico.

Rappi built Soy Rappi with Qurable, the loyalty program for its couriers: a rewards marketplace curated by profile, with points and tiers, that connected more than 170,000 couriers across 100 cities in Mexico.

It's a program where the balance is expressed in pesos and members spend it as a payment method on their next purchases. For the company, that balance is a debt to the member that must be tracked in real time.

Yes, with hold, capture and reversal. Split payment (points plus another method in the same purchase) works in Qurable's web and app checkout and in connected ecommerce, not at the POS.

Qurable records consent by channel with the date, source and text version, can run on pseudonymized identity and lets you delete personal data with an audit trail. This isn't legal advice: your legal team defines the notice.

The pilot goes live in 1 to 3 months, with an existing program or from scratch, and implementation is done by Qurable's own team.
