How does the loyalty card work?
fe-del-TÀ — three syllables; stress on the final accented 'à'. The word means 'loyalty/fidelity'.
Use this when you notice a loyalty program display at the tabaccheria. Some tobacconists, particularly those affiliated with Lottomatica or national lottery networks, offer loyalty schemes.
'Come funziona' (how does it work) + noun is a very versatile question structure. 'Tessera fedeltà' is the Italian term for a loyalty card. Many Italian lottery-affiliated tobacconists offer points on game purchases that can be exchanged for prizes or credits.

Asking specifically about earning mechanism
Cosa si guadagna con i punti?

Loyalty programs in Italian retail are common but often more informal than northern European equivalents. Many tobacconists run their own informal systems rather than branded national programs. The relationship between regular customer and tobacconist is often personal and long-standing in Italian neighbourhood culture.
