# Membership inspiration
Memberships let you give a clearly defined group its own card with its own perks. A member sees either their tier card or their membership card, and the membership card takes priority (see **Memberships**).
## Types of memberships
- **Neighbourhood or local:** for people who live nearby. For example a free coffee once a week as a claimable benefit, a points multiplier and extra bonus points for visiting during quiet weekday hours.
- **Employee or partner:** for staff of certain companies or partners. For example a free drink once a week as a claimable benefit, a points multiplier and an exclusive reward only cardholders can see.
- **Premium:** for loyal or high-spending customers. For example a higher points multiplier, a monthly claimable benefit (like a spa add-on or free racket rental) and an exclusive reward like a luxury goodie bag.
## Example perks per sector
- **Hospitality:** a free starter with every visit, a VIP table and an invite to a chef's night.
- **Beauty and wellness:** 15% off treatments and a birthday facial.
- **Padel and sports:** free racket rental, a club T-shirt and an invite to a tournament BBQ.
## When to use memberships
- When you want to reward a clearly defined group, like locals, employees or top spenders.
- When you want something simpler than tiers that still feels valuable.
- When you want to create exclusivity and a sense of belonging.
**Tip:** memberships make customers feel chosen. And because the membership card takes priority over the tier card, you stay in control of who gets the VIP treatment.
