Punch Passes: A Simple Way to Prepay and Save

Punch Passes are a modern take on the classic coffee shop punch card.

Instead of buying sessions one at a time, customers purchase a bundle of hours upfront at a discounted rate.


☕ The Coffee Shop Analogy

Think of it like a coffee shop punch card:

You buy 10 coffees, get the 10th free.

Punch Passes work the same way — just flipped upfront.

For example:

  • Buy 10 hours for the price of 9

  • Buy 5 hours for the price of 4

The value is built in from the start.


💳 How Punch Passes Work

When a customer purchases a Punch Pass:

  • They receive a set number of credits (hours)

  • Those credits are stored on their account

  • Each credit can be used toward a simulator session (public rate or lesson rate)

There’s no physical card and nothing to track manually. Everything is stored inside Birrdi.


🔄 How Credits Are Used

Credits are not applied automatically.

When booking, the customer must:

  • Select their Punch Pass credits at checkout

  • Choose how many credits to apply

  • Complete the booking

Once applied:

  • Credits are deducted from their Punch Pass

  • The remaining balance updates instantly


➕ Adding More Credits

When a customer runs low:

  • They simply add more credits to the same Punch Pass

  • The balance increases immediately

  • No new pass is created

It’s one continuous balance tied to their account.


✅ Why Customers Love Punch Passes

✅ Why Facilities Love Punch Passes

Punch Passes keep things simple:
Buy in bulk, save money, and apply credits whenever you book.
