Membership tiers
Five tiers. Member is the free base tier. Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Mithril are paid monthly subscriptions.

The XP multiplier applies only to purchase-derived XP. Check-ins always grant a flat 100 XP regardless of tier.

Discount mechanics
- Store discount: applies at the register and on the website. Discounts are configured as Square pricing rules tied to customer groups, so the discount is applied automatically once a member is recognized at checkout. No coupon code needed.
- Event discount: applies to online ticket purchases only.
- Birthday credit: issued during the customer’s birthday month, redeemable in-store or online. Currently fulfilled by staff.
- ARC pickup: in-store pickup only, one per month, while supplies last. Currently fulfilled by staff.
Why
Tiered pricing rewards depth of engagement. The XP multiplier on purchases ties tier to spend, while flat-100 check-in XP keeps the leaderboard accessible to members who show up regularly without spending.
