Many brands start out hoping that a Loyalty CRM will drive repeat purchases, build customer databases, and make marketing easier.
But in reality, quite a few CRM systems end up being “just sitting there” or abandoned midway due to unexpected obstacles.
6 Reasons Brands Stop Using Loyalty CRM
1. Customers Don’t Use It Because the Experience Is Poor
The interface is not user-friendly, the registration process is complicated, point collection is difficult, and the system is slow.
2. Poor data collection — data can’t be used effectively
Customer data is scattered, duplicated, or incomplete, making segmentation, automation, and campaign execution difficult. A good Loyalty CRM must collect data that is ready to use—not just stored.
3. Inflexible system that doesn’t scale
It starts small and works well, but when you want to add more brands or integrate with POS / LINE / website, you run into “can’t do it” or “need to rebuild,” which makes it not worthwhile.
4. Slow support with no strategic input
When issues arise, support is slow or provides responses that show no understanding of the business. The system is slow or has low availability.
5. Accounting/Operations can’t work with it
The point system lacks structure, it can’t be recorded properly for accounting, and the reports don’t meet back-office requirements. CRM ends up being a burden rather than a helpful tool.
6. No visible impact on sales
The system may look good but lacks real impact. Customers don’t buy more often. There are no insights for the marketing team to build on. In the end, it becomes an expensive tool that doesn’t drive growth.
So What Should a Good Loyalty CRM Look Like?

Easy to use and usable by the team daily
