This email aims to honor Veterans Day by offering all customers a limited-time 10X points bonus (equivalent to 20% back in savings) to drive immediate engagement and purchases across all pet categories. It also seeks to activate Treats Rewards membership to boost long-term loyalty and repeat spending.

The campaign brilliantly ties a patriotic holiday to a universal customer benefit, 10X points for everyone, not just veterans, making the promotion inclusive while still honoring the spirit of the occasion without alienating non-veteran shoppers.
