Head of Household

Head of Household (or HoH), within Kognitiv Loyalty, is a durable binding hierarchical relationship between accounts. A member can serve as a head of household or be a dependent to another head of household, but that member cannot occupy both statuses simultaneously; multi-tiered linkage is not possible.

Householding refers to the creation of head of household/dependent relationships within Kognitiv Loyalty. This can be accomplished through the application or web services. Once separate accounts are linked through householding, each account maintains its own data and member characteristics. The Point Transfer process is available, but dependent points will not automatically transfer to the HoH account.

Administrators must enable Head of Household in Usage Settings. The Head of Household, maximum dependent limits (up to 500) and maximum head of household changes can be found and defined within Usage Settings. Note: A removal of HoH is not considered a "change" as it pertains to limits.
