# Reward Coupons

How to import coupon codes into Open Loyalty rewards using CSV files.

Reward coupons are imported into the **Rewards** section and can be assigned to members as part of the reward system. 

**File format:** CSV

#### Sample file

{% file src="/files/72uWEv4uigAZEbhEGoxs" %}

{% code title="coupons-import-sample.csv" %}

```csv
code
WELCOME10
LOYALTY25
BIRTHDAY50
```

{% endcode %}

#### Format rules

* The file **must** include the header row `code`
* Each row contains one coupon code
* Codes must be unique
* Save as `.csv` with UTF-8 encoding

### Common mistakes

| Mistake                         | Fix                                                                                                                              |
| ------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Missing header row              | The `code` header is required                                                                                                    |
| Duplicate codes within the file | Ensure all codes are unique                                                                                                      |
| Extra columns                   | Only `code` is supported — remove additional columns                                                                             |
| Non-UTF-8 encoding              | Re-save as UTF-8 to avoid corrupted special characters                                                                           |
| Confusing the two import types  | Redemption codes go into **campaigns**, reward coupons go into **rewards** — they are selected separately in the import dropdown |

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://help.openloyalty.io/implementation-guide/integrations-and-data-exchange/imports-exports/imports/sample-import-files/reward-coupons.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `build a script that syncs our docs to a CMS` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
