RewardsWP lets every store exclude products from points and discounts
◆ Current state
RewardsWP now lets stores choose which products earn points and which its rewards can discount, on every plan. October connected AffiliateWP and RewardsWP to Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor, so owners can query data and approve or change records in chat, and VIP Tiers arrived for RewardsWP Pro.
◆ Where it's heading
RewardsWP is filling in the controls a loyalty program needs before stores trust it with margin: tiers, then per-product exclusions. The AI assistant work spans both products and sits on the same data.
◆ Prediction
More margin and eligibility controls for RewardsWP look likely, alongside further write actions for the assistants.
Cvent
5.0MARKETING
Cvent publishes its November 18 release window across five product lines.
◆ Current state
Cvent's feed is mostly its release calendar. The November 18 window now has posts for Trade Show Solutions, Plan & Promote, Attendee Engagement, Actionable Insights and Spend & Workflow, with items such as Jifflenow saved calendar views and multi-budget configuration. Attendee Assistant, which answers attendee questions from approved event data, remains the most notable recent product item.
◆ Where it's heading
Cvent ships on a fixed, two-week release cadence split by product family, so most updates arrive as broad bundles rather than single launches. The AI work so far sits on the attendee side, with Attendee Assistant.
◆ Prediction
The feed excerpts are too short to rank the November 18 items; expect the next window's posts around two weeks later in the same five-part format.
