Notes:

  • The "quantity" is the amount of the item needed to be purchased before the next one is free – Not a customer's balance.
  • When identifying the item (or "reward") to the API, you MUST use the <id> that is returned in the XML construct, NOT the <reward_id> which corresponds to the optional item_identifier field.
