COVID-19 Response: Payments Incentives Consumers Want Now

Following our last post, we received a lot of questions about specific reward strategies that will help consumers in this time and help preserve your portfolios share of spend.

Here is the latest data based on 4,400+ interviews conducted with U.S. consumers a week ago.

  • KEY TAKEAWAY: There is a clear preference for Streaming, Grocery & Healthcare related benefits.


And here are the results by Generational Segment (CONTACT US ABOUT THIS ANALYSIS BY OTHER SEGMENTS).



KEY TAKEAWAY: While we see consistency across generational segments, there is an opportunity for targeted product strategy for younger vs. older cardholders.


When developing your strategy, one needs to ensure that Consumer INTEREST connects with increased product USAGE.


For example, with Streaming, there are more than a few strategies that an issuer can implement (e.g., offering accelerated Earn, subsidizing a trial, offering an on-going discount etc.). Each approach is likely to have a different impact on spend patterns by consumer segment.

Pi-360 provides in-moment analysis and critical inputs (by segment) to help you evaluate the impact of any given strategy on your P&L. Our approach includes a dynamic (and robust) benchmark that can anchor against all features currently in market or a specific subset of features.

The analysis below leverages input from more than 42,000 structured product reviews to show the varying impact on Spend that a subsidized Streaming strategy can have on consumer segments.
