# Purchase a reward with points

> ⚠️ **BETA endpoint**

This is a work-in-progress documentation of a BETA endpoint. The parameters, fields, request and response bodies, and other data may subject to change. If you want to share feedback or improvements, contact Voucherify support or your Technical Account Manager.

Purchases a reward on behalf of the program member, spending points from the member's
loyalty card (the card is resolved from the reward cost's card definition).

Requires an ACTIVE program, an ACTIVE member, an ACTIVE reward assigned to the program
with available stock, a matching reward cost for the customer's context, and sufficient
points within the configured spending limits.

Modes:
- `TRANSACTION` (default) — creates a PENDING reward transaction (and an underlying card
  transaction) processed asynchronously. Returns HTTP 202.
- `DRY_RUN` — simulates the purchase without creating any transaction. Returns HTTP 200
  with a SIMULATED transaction payload.
