ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

Generated by a model from the captured document; not read by a person

The specific expiration formula means points may expire in as few than six months after earning if earned late in a month, giving users a defined but potentially short window to redeem.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

Generated by a model from the captured document; not read by a person

Points you earn will expire on the first day of the month after the sixth month from when they were earned, meaning unused points are forfeited after that date.
