Is there a way of matching rewards with a allowance payment? I cannot see that in the app if there is!
My daughter has certain chores to complete each week to get her allowance. If at the end of the week she has accumul ated her reward points she gets her full allowance . . . and if she has exceeded her allowance level there is a bonus payment at a rate of $1 for every 25 points.
At the moment  I am doing the calculations manually and adjusting the account. It would be great if there was a default level of points = allowance payment and then a bonus rate built in! + + + a pro rata payment if the award points did not match the required level for the full allowance.
Many thanks
