# Award 1000 points for three purchases over $300 each
Let's create a gamification [promotion rule](/docs/product/rules/overview.md#promotion-rules) that gives 1000 loyalty points to customers who spend over $300 three times. Their three qualifying spends need not be consecutive.
:::important
This tutorial shows how we can use native Talon.One features as workaround to create complex rules.
In this case, we'll use a _fake_ loyalty program to count sessions.
:::
## Create the promotion
In the current scenario, let's use two rules:
1. Count Transactions over $300
1. 3rd transaction over $300
### Create the subledger accessor
Let's create a [subledger](/docs/product/loyalty-programs/use-subledgers.md) in our loyalty program to keep track of the number of sessions
of a given value each customer makes.
1. Click **Subledger accessor**.
1. Set **Loyalty program** to **Transaction counter** and in **Subledger** type `TransactionOver300`.
This creates a new subledger inside the **Ledgers** loyalty program.
1. Save it as `TransactionOver300`.
### Rule 1: Count transactions over $300
Let's add a free item to sessions when they reach $300:
- Conditions:
1. **Check for default event**: **Customer Closing session**.
1. **Check attribute value**: `is greater than 300`.
- Effect: **Add loyalty points** and select:
- **Loyalty program**: **Ledgers**
- **Subledger name**: `TransactionOver300`
- **Recipient**: **Current customer (friend)**
- **Reason**: `1 transaction over $300`
- **Amount of points**: `1`
This use of a subledger allows us to keep track of the number of transactions of 300.
It's not related to points in this case. It functions as a counter.
### Rule 2: 3rd transaction over $300
This rule detects the third transaction and grants 1000 points.
- Conditions:
1. **Check for default event**: **Customer Closing session**.
1. **Check attribute value**: `is greater than 300`.
1. **Check attribute value**: `is equal to 3`.
- Effect: **Add loyalty points** and select:
- **Loyalty program** to **Sample Wallet**. Note that we do not use the subledger for this.
- **Recipient** to **Current Customer**.
- **Reason** to `1000 bonus points`.
- **Amount of point** to `1000`.
When a customer places an order for the third time, they will get 1000 points.
## Run the campaign
To run and test the campaign, we need three requests to trigger our two rules.
We send the requests to the Integration API's [Update customer session][cs] endpoint.
### A customer makes two purchases of $300 each
Let's send two requests for the _same_ customer profile but with different sessions.
That cart has a total value of $310 every time. The sessions must be closed.
```json title="Sending a session update" {4,5,11} showLineNumbers
CURL -X PUT https://mycompany.europe-west1.talon.one/v2/customer_sessions/my_session_id -d
'{
"customerSession": {
"profileId": "A_given_customer",
"state": "closed",
"cartItems": [
{
"name": "ProductL",
"sku": "sku-00003",
"quantity": 1,
"price": 310,
"Category": "",
"weight": 0,
"position": 0,
"attributes": {}
}
],
"couponCodes": [""],
"referralCode": "",
"attributes": {
},
"additionalCosts": {}
},
"responseContent": []
}'
```
We receive this response, which shows the
[`addLoyaltyPoints`](/docs/dev/integration-api/api-effects.md#addloyaltypoints) effect is triggered.
```json title="Response" {10} showLineNumbers
{
"createdCoupons": [],
"createdReferrals": [],
"effects": [
{
"campaignId": 244,
"rulesetId": 487,
"ruleIndex": 0,

"transactionUUID": "266611c9-22c2-4930-bfb6-26d5978c7880"
}
}
]
}
```
### Send the last of the three sessions
The last session we close for the same customers triggers the point addition.
```json title="Sending a session update" {4,11} showLineNumbers
CURL -X PUT https://mycompany.europe-west1.talon.one/v2/customer_sessions/my_session_id -d
'{
"customerSession": {
"profileId": "A_given_customer",
"state": "closed",
"cartItems": [
{
"name": "ProductL",
"sku": "sku-00003",
"quantity": 1,
"price": 310,
"Category": "",
"weight": 0,
"position": 0,
"attributes": {}
}
],
"couponCodes": [""],
"referralCode": "",
"attributes": {
},
"additionalCosts": {}
},
"responseContent": []
}'
```
We receive this response, which shows the
[`addLoyaltyPoints`](/docs/dev/integration-api/api-effects.md#addloyaltypoints) effect is triggered.
```json title="Response" {25,30} showLineNumbers

}
]
}
```
:::tip Key Takeaways
- Talon.One's core features are flexible and can be used as workarounds
to implement advanced logic.
