Plain English question

And no, it's not about the compiler or anything related :-D I'm looking for two words in English, and I can't seem to find the exact word. Could someone here help please? :-O 1. What's the word for something that makes a sale of anything more attractive to the customer? For example, in the car-wash business, you have sales that sometimes are cheaper because of a discount (50% or $5 off), but you have other types of ________ that are not necessarily direct money: for example a rain-check in which you get a free wash if you washed your car the day before and it rained, or some loyalty program in which for every 10 washes you get one free. These last two examples are not discounts but still are _________. 2. What do you do when you sign up to a gym? Subscribe? Enroll? Here I'm looking for the noun word (enrollment seems to me like a good word, but I'm open to opinions.) Thanks! -- LuisR

1. Incentive A promotion is usually a temporary advertising campaign. In your promotion, you would draw attention to those incentives. "Amenities" might also be useful, but not in the context of your example. Free coffee while you wait, television in the lobby, etc. would be amenities. 2. Plan or Package It looks like you already decided on "member plan". Sounds good. Package would also sound fine.
That was the concept of promotion I had, more what you do to promote something, that's promotion. But incentive sounds to me more like a reward you give someone for doing something or good productivity. Maybe the meaning of the word in Spanish is influencing that idea. Yes, member plan sounds good to me also. Thanks!! -- LuisR
