# Spend tiered discounts benefit
Automatically reward members with larger discounts, or unlock access to another membership tier's benefits, as their spend increases over the calendar year.
1. From the main menu, click on Benefits.
2. Next find the membership tier you want to add this benefit to and click on the Edit Benefits button.
3. Find the Spend Tiered Discounts row and toggle the Spend Tiered Discounts benefit to Enabled.
4. Click the Edit button.
5. Enter a name for your spend tiered discount benefit, for example: Spend Tiered Discounts.
6. Enter a description, for example: Get bigger discounts as you spend more throughout the year.
7. Under Spend basis, choose whether tax and shipping should be included in the spend totals used to calculate each spend tier.
8. Under Tiered discounts, click Add tier to create your first spend tier.
9. For each tier, enter:
* A tier name, for example: Silver or Gold.
* A Spend threshold amount. This is the total amount a member must spend to unlock that tier.
* Either:
* A discount type and discount value, or
* An Upgrade to membership tier selection if you want the member to gain access to another tier's benefits instead of receiving a discount at that spend level.
* An optional Minimum purchase amount if the discount should only apply when an order reaches a certain value.
10. Repeat the process and add more tiers as needed. Members will automatically receive the highest spend tier they have reached.
11. Click Save.
Please note:
* Member spend is tracked across all products over the calendar year.
* If you configure a membership tier upgrade for a spend tier, members gain access to that tier's benefits immediately but continue to be billed on their current membership tier.
