Redesigning the
ValueClub experience

Transforming a dated member utility into a clearer platform for rewards, purchases and self-service support.

The app worked, but it no longer served the full customer journey.

ValueClub members could earn cashback and e-credits by scanning their membership in store. Beyond that moment, the experience was fragmented and important after-sales tasks lived elsewhere.

The redesign needed to do more than modernise the interface. It had to centralise member value, enable self-service and make the product useful to both existing and potential members.

My role

As the sole designer, I led research, UX strategy, information architecture, wireframing, interface design, prototyping, usability testing and iteration.

Membership value was difficult to see—and support was doing work the app could do.

The outdated structure made common tasks hard to find. Customers could not check e-receipts or warranty status in the app, so routine enquiries went directly to the customer experience team.

Problem statement

How might we make ValueClub benefits easier to discover while helping customers resolve common after-sales needs independently?
01

Fragmented

Features were grouped around the existing system rather than user goals.

02

Dependent

Receipts and warranty checks required customer-service assistance.

03

Member-only

Potential members could not meaningfully explore the product.

Research narrowed a broad redesign into three specific barriers.

I interviewed customers and internal stakeholders, then tested the existing experience with staff and real users.

Method 01Customer interviews
Method 02Stakeholder interviews
Method 03Usability testing

What the research revealed

  1. 1

    Benefits were difficult to discover. Members could not readily see the rewards and services available to them.

  2. 2

    After-sales information was inaccessible. Receipts and warranty details sat outside the app experience.

  3. 3

    The interface reduced confidence. Weak hierarchy and an outdated structure made navigation uncertain.

Every major design decision answered a research finding.

The new information architecture centred the experience on four goals: discover value, manage purchases, get support and understand membership.

01

Research insight

Benefits and common features were difficult to find.

Design decision

Reorganise navigation around user goals—not legacy feature categories.

What changed

Rewards, purchases, warranties and promotions became clearer destinations.

02

Research insight

Receipts and warranty information were unavailable in the app.

Design decision

Bring purchase history and warranty status into the core experience.

What changed

Customers could resolve routine after-sales questions without contacting support.

03

Research insight

The product only demonstrated value after someone became a member.

Design decision

Create a useful guest experience while preserving member-only benefits.

What changed

Potential members could explore promotions and understand ValueClub before joining.

ValueClub redesigned app screens showing receipt lookup, home and guest experiences
The redesigned experience supports both self-service and membership discovery.

Key features introduced or improved

01

E-receipts

Purchase history became available on demand.

02

Warranty tracking

Protection status and support tools moved into the app.

03

Promotions & vouchers

Benefits were surfaced earlier and more clearly.

04

Guest experience

Non-members could explore value before signing up.

05

Store locator

Stores and service centres became easier to discover.

06

Membership tools

Account, cashback and associate-member tasks were consolidated.

Testing focused on the tasks the original app made difficult.

Staff and real users tested the revised structure and key journeys. The redesign made it easier and faster to find receipts, check warranty status and discover promotions.

Task 01

Find a previous receipt

Easier to locate
Task 02

Check warranty status

Available in-app
Task 03

Discover promotions

Surfaced earlier

The clearest result was a major reduction in support demand.

~90%reduction in warranty enquiries

Making receipts and warranty information self-service reduced pressure on the customer experience team. The clearer structure also made rewards and promotions easier to discover, while the guest experience introduced ValueClub to potential members.

Self-service

Customers could handle more after-sales tasks without contacting support.

Engagement

Rewards and promotions were easier to discover in everyday use.

Growth

Non-members could understand the value proposition before joining.
