Earn points from total order amount and/or from products custom points. Points bonuses for orders quantity, first orders, birthday period and up to 4 promotional times (with daily optional exclusion) earning ratio modification, and many other bonuses, as the optional Review Points Plugin.
The extension works in 3 modes: regular - there is a piggy bank and users change and manages their points - chips from order: users earn chips instead of points and can reconvert them to points or user in new orders - and "one big chip" mode: users earn points that are converted in one big incremental chip to be used in the cart for new orders.
With the exclusive Prediction module, customers are leaded to purchase! It predicts the current cart points and the product poin in the detail page, even the bonuses!
The extension restore previous points for refunded orders and has a new, robust, multi-language options for sending to customers beautiful html/plain emails, both on earning than in changing chips, with support for variables as {username} {points} and so on.
It works automatically with web-payment (as paypal, autorize.net) when you set the right IPN (or the silent post) provided with the instructions, they auto-switch orders from pending to confirmed and the extension store the new points and inform the customer.
The new Virtuemart Reward Points extension supports the Virtuemart Credit Points plugin, to build a complete credit points system from purchasing credits and pay with credits.
Virtuemart reward points extensions inherit itself in alpha user points if you install it. It inherits also the AUP users administration! It is compatible with AWO coupon, both free and pro version.

Great experience for us too! You are the first Customer to setup a real, complete "credit points" system to buy credit points and buying with credit points - we didn't realize that - AHAH ;-) Thank you so much Budak, very cool site!
I am been using Joomla for a couple of years, and this is my first review that I had written. First downloading and setup was easy, but I had a problem with the points not directing over to the users account after purchasing. Emailed them and that same day, had a response. I had to give them a temp super admin to figure out the problem, but only after a short time, they had it fixed and working great. I cant say enought. Well worth the money!!!
I bought this extension because it looked very promising and fun for my customers. I was amazed however that the combination with AlphaUserPoints gave me a LOT more options than i thought i would get.
I had a few difficulties with getting the component working but that was due to not setting up the component properly (my mistake). The developers replied promptly to my emails and got everything up and running for me in no time. The level of service so far has been outstanding to say the least.
I would suggest this extension for every store (i installed it on my vM2 store)

worth much more than its price. now works perfectly with vm email manager and with the multi threshold for earning I can double points for my customer over 200$. Better than the opencart commercial extension I'm using on my personal site. Thinking to migrate in Virtuemart, who would have thought!!
I suggest this extension to everybody, it gives virtuemart what virtuemart missed: simple ...loyalties. But it's more, not only from order amount as other shopping solution, but real more. Minimum, maximum, bonus for global shop order numbers (as itunes does) and I love the rule for random bonus points each order. Developer promised me he will integrate a slot-machine for a double-bonus on points earned each order. A dream!!!

Thanks all of you men. Without your ...mental aperture, we wouldn't able to do all these test! Great, thanks to you all. I never imagined a "collaboration" like that. I promise this extension will grow because - thanks to you - we collected so many data and requests for the best rewards points for virtuemart. Thanks.
FINALLY!!!!! it just missed on virtuemart. A note for developer, I ask him how to customize the coupon, and in the morning I found a complete customized css in the email. I do like the possibility of excluding a payment method for earning points, this lets to boost paypal and exclude the others, finally. In my early test, customers reactions is also very good. Great extension.
I had some issues with the install due to the components i had installed was comflicting. I sent them an email before i went to bed by morning i got a response and in a few hours they logged in my account debugged and fixed the issues. Component is exactly what i needed and works as stated.
I was looking for something like that for years, earning points from order total. The simplest promotional system (and the most profitable) i don't know why was missing in virtuemart. I thought to migrate in opencart until this rewards point extension, and purchased both versions. Equal power, same settings to setup a reward point "in 5 minutes" as developer says. The only difference in virtuemart 2 emails are managed in alphauserpoints rules, while in the virtuemart 1 emails are managed in the plugin and the component. I like more in vm2, but great work on vm1.1.9!! Excellent support team, strongly suggest to everyone.
I strongly suggest virtuemart rewards points to everyone needs promotions that really work. The support team helped me to realize some pictures for coupon background with my web colors, and I was able to customize it in my css. I purchased the version for virtuemart 1.1 and having some problems with uploading. I gave the ftp account to the support team, they changed my plugin folder permission and the installation was perfect. In five minutes I setup the loyalties from total order and the points to money page (this cames with really cool coupon background!!) with my coupon picture. They also helped me to templetize the points activity page and the contacts, even if i guess it is not their mission, they gave me their css. Lovely people! I'm near to upgrade to virtuemart 2 and I love to know this extensions is available, it's my new must-have promotion system!
This extension is great and the guys behind it are amazing! Your are not buying just an extension - you will receive a full support in a record time! We had some questions at the beginning (we are new to joomla) and this guys were always there for every issue and questions we had - in a very friendly and professional way. (This is rare today) Good job guys! We are happy that we found this extension!
This extension is totally awesome! Does exactly what it says it will do… and much more. I was looking for a way for my customers earn "points" with each purchase that could later be used to get a free product. I saw a few potential options, but none of them really wow'd me.....then I found VM Alpha Points. This extension takes the customer rewards concept to the Max Power. It's super easy to use, and there is so much freedom when designing the look of your redemption coupon. Not the mention there is a super cute piggy bank. Another plus was the easy to navigate demo (....didn't get directed all over the place) and you actually earn points when you register just like your future customers will …..so, you get a firsthand understanding of how it all works. If you are looking to bump up your company’s customer service appeal and customer retention rates, you should definitely get this extension!
