Domains often sit differently in loyalty programmes.
WHY
Domain registrations carry a registry fee that leaves a narrow margin. Programmes commonly exclude them, or apply a reduced rate.
WHAT TO CHECK ON YOUR DASHBOARD
Whether registrations earn Whether renewals earn Whether transfers earn Whether the rate differs from hosting
WHAT THIS MEANS PRACTICALLY
If you hold many domains, do not assume that spending generates proportionate rewards. Hosting spend is usually what the programme is built around.
A PRACTICAL POINT
Never choose whether to renew a domain based on whether it earns rewards. Domain expiry costs far more than any reward is worth: an expired domain takes your website and email offline, and after redemption it can be registered by anyone.
Enable auto-renewal on every domain that matters, regardless of the rewards position.
IF THE DASHBOARD IS UNCLEAR
Ask in a ticket before making a large multi-domain purchase on the assumption it will earn.
