Next, a method of calculating points given to members will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating a method of calculating normal points and special points.

The table Ta shown in FIG. 5 is a table showing rules for granting normal points and special points. First, regardless of the purchased product and the number of purchased products, 1 normal point is given for every 200 yen purchased.

In addition, when a specific product (for example, product A) is purchased, a special number of points is given according to the number of purchases of the specific product.

More specifically, when one product A is purchased, one special point is given in addition to the normal points.

In addition, when two products A are purchased, 4 special points are given in addition to the normal points. In addition, if 3 items A are purchased, 6 special points will be given in addition to the normal points. That is, 2 special points are given for each product A.

Furthermore, if four products A are purchased, 12 special points will be given in addition to the normal points. In addition, when 5 or more products A are purchased, special points (3 points x number of purchases of product A) are given in addition to the normal points. That is, 3 special points are given for each product A. In this way, as the number of purchases of product A increases, the number of special points given increases.

In the example of the table Ta, special points are given only to the product A, but in general, special points are given to a plurality of preset products.

The table Tb shown in FIG. 5 is a table showing a calculation example of normal points and special points. For example, suppose that a customer purchases 2400 yen and the customer purchases three special products A. In this case, 2400/200 = 12 points are usually given. In addition, since the customer purchased three products A, when the table Ta is referred to, 6 special points are given. Therefore, a total of 18 points will be given to the customer, which is 6 points more than when only normal points are given.
