What does the duration of inactivity affect in the "Expire Activity Based Non-Qualifying Points" job?

The duration of inactivity directly impacts the calculation of time-based point expiration in the "Expire Activity Based Non-Qualifying Points" job. When a member is inactive for a specified duration, it initiates the process of evaluating their non-qualifying points to determine if they should be expired. This ensures that points do not remain indefinitely on a member’s account if they are not actively engaging with the loyalty program.

Time-based point expiration is crucial as it helps maintain the integrity and relevance of the loyalty program by encouraging member participation. If a member does not engage within the designated duration, their points may expire, thus prompting them to become more active to retain their benefits.

The other options are not directly related to the function of the expiration job. For instance, while the creation of new member accounts, eligibility for point accrual, and the definition of qualifying points are integral to the overall loyalty management process, they are not influenced by the duration of inactivity in the context of expiring non-qualifying points.
