:::tip
You can also add loyalty cards to a loyalty program by [importing them](/docs/product/loyalty-programs/card-based/manage-loyalty-cards.md#import-loyalty-cards-into-a-program).
:::

You can create batches of up to 20,000 loyalty cards directly in the Campaign Manager or
using the [Create loyalty cards](/management-api#tag/Loyalty-cards/operation/createBatchLoyaltyCards)
endpoint. Before you start, ensure that you have [created a card-based loyalty program](/docs/product/loyalty-programs/card-based/create-cb-programs.md).

To create a batch of loyalty cards in the Campaign Manager:

1. On the leftmost menu, click <Loyalty className="icon"/> **Loyalty**.
1. Click the name of the card-based loyalty program where you want to create the loyalty
   cards.
1. At the top-right of the page, click **Create Loyalty Cards**.
1. In **Number of cards**, specify how many loyalty cards you want to create.
1. (Optional) In **Card code format**, set the format for the loyalty card codes in this
   batch. Any changes you make apply only to the current batch.
   - In **Code length**, choose the length of your codes.
- In **Character set**, choose if you want your codes to contain only letters, numbers,
  or both.
- (Optional) In **Disallowed characters**, enter any characters you do not want to
  appear in your codes.
- (Optional) In **Prefix**, set a prefix for your codes.
- (Optional) In **Suffix**, set a suffix for your codes.
- (Optional) In **Segmentation**, define how you want to separate longer card codes:
  - Select the **Code** checkbox to split the generated codes using a segmentation
    character.
  - Select the **Prefix and suffix** checkbox to separate the prefix and suffix from
    the generated code using a segmentation character.
- If you opted to separate longer card codes, in **Segmentation character**, select your
  preferred character:
  - **Hyphen: -**
  - **Underscore: _**
1. (Optional) In **Custom attributes**, click **Select Custom Attribute** to add
   them to the loyalty card and set their values.

   :::note
   Custom attributes must be created in your account's
   [Attributes](/docs/product/account/dev-tools/manage-attributes) section
   before you can assign values to them.
   :::
1. Click **Create Loyalty Cards**.

A confirmation containing a unique batch ID appears. You can use the batch ID to
identify the loyalty cards you just created to, for example, [export them as a CSV file](/docs/product/loyalty-programs/card-based/manage-loyalty-cards.md#export-loyalty-cards).
