Variable Ratio Reward Cards

• Variable Ratio (VR) Reward Cards can be used as the awards media in any Performance Improvement Program.

• Instead of issuing & redeeming typical media for incentive programs:

- Award Cheques

- Gift Certificates

- Debit/Credit Cards

- Premiums

- Even Cash

• The media would be VR Reward Cards

Variable Ratio Reward Cards (Samples)

There are 20 rub off spaces on the front of each card. Beneath 5 of the spaces is the word “WIN”. Participants rub off any 5 spaces. The number of WINs uncovered (and your budget) determines the award!
