//TODO Credit because it is being used as a TranType in a Credit card 'Sale', this may be a confusing noun.

We refer to consumer loyalty balances as points, not credits. Points can be related to points per amount of transaction, or points per visit. If the merchant prefers the "per-visit" option, then the balance is more of a point balance since it is harder to quantify the amount of the credit the consumer has earned.

FYI, In the future, we may have more complex rewards where we get more points if we satisfy defined conditions such as "buy an ice cream order AND buy a take home item to get double points". This logic would be a performed in "Close Transaction with SKU".
