- 60 questions in 90 min.
- ~65% passing score — build a margin above the minimum before booking.
- Program mechanics — expect questions on how accrual and redemption transaction journals interact with tier qualification and promotion eligibility.

How Many Questions Are Scenario-Based?
A meaningful share of questions are scenario-based. The common pattern is a business requirement followed by several plausible Salesforce options; your job is to identify the safest, most maintainable choice for Loyalty Management.
Best Way to Pass on Your First Attempt
- Start with the official outline: Map each exam objective to your notes, Trailhead practice, and weak areas before taking full mocks.
- Prioritize high-impact topics: Spend extra time on Loyalty Management, Loyalty Programs, and Points because these usually drive the hardest scenario questions.
- Practice under time pressure: Use timed question sets so you learn when to move on and return to marked questions later.
- Review explanations deeply: Do not just memorize the right option; write down why the other options are less appropriate for the scenario.
Loyalty Management AP: Key Concepts for the Exam
Program Design: Tiers & Points
Salesforce Loyalty Management structures programs around a Loyalty Program with one or more Tiers (e.g., Silver, Gold, Platinum) and a Currency (points, miles, cashback). Tier Groups define the criteria for tier qualification — spending thresholds, visit counts, or points earned. Tier Period determines how long earned status lasts and when it resets (anniversary, calendar year). The Loyalty Member object tracks each enrolled customer's current tier, points balance, and program history. Qualifying vs. Non-Qualifying Points: qualifying points count toward tier status; non-qualifying points are bonus awards that don't affect tier. The AP exam tests how to configure a tier structure with custom qualification rules and how tier periods interact with reset logic.
Points Accrual & Redemption Rules
Accrual Rules define how members earn points — by transaction amount, product category, channel, or event. Accrual Rate can be a fixed amount or a percentage of spend. Partner Accruals allow members to earn points at non-Salesforce partner businesses via API. Redemption Rules define how points are spent — minimum redemption threshold, redemption value (100 points = $1), and eligible products. Vouchers are generated upon redemption and tracked as Loyalty Vouchers. Point Expiry Rules define when dormant points expire and send pre-expiry notifications. The exam tests how to configure an accrual rule for a partner scenario, how to set a redemption rule with a minimum threshold, and how expiry notifications are triggered.
Promotions & Member Engagement
Loyalty Promotions offer bonus points or tier benefits for specific activities during a promotional period. Promotion Eligibility Rules restrict which members can participate (by tier, segment, or geography). Benefit Types include points multipliers, free products, and discount vouchers. Promotions are linked to a Loyalty Program and activated for a date range. Member Engagement events (birthday, milestone, referral) trigger automatic point awards or benefit grants. Engagement Attributes store program-specific data on the member profile. The exam tests how to configure a time-limited promotion with eligibility rules, how to award bonus points for a lifecycle event, and how to use member attributes to personalize promotions.
Partner Integration & Ecosystem
Loyalty programs often partner with airlines, hotels, retailers, and financial services to allow cross-brand earning and redemption. Partner Accounts represent participating businesses in Salesforce. Partner Accrual/Redemption endpoints expose REST APIs that partners call to post transactions. Loyalty Connect provides a pre-built API gateway for partner integrations. Transaction Journals record every point earn and burn event with full audit trail. The AP exam tests how to configure a partner-facing API for an earn scenario, how transactions are posted and validated, and how to design the security model so that a partner can only post transactions for their own members.
Analytics & Program Reporting
Key Loyalty KPIs: Active Member Rate, Redemption Rate, Point Liability (total outstanding points × redemption value), Tier Attainment Distribution, and Program ROI. CRM Analytics Loyalty apps provide pre-built dashboards for program performance, member engagement, and financial liability. Member 360 views surface all loyalty activity alongside CRM data. Churn prediction identifies at-risk members for proactive re-engagement. Cohort analysis tracks how engagement changes as members progress through tiers. The exam tests which CRM Analytics datasets are populated by Loyalty data, how to measure point liability from journal records, and how to configure a member churn alert.
