Hi, this may have come up somewhere but I could not find it. Is there a buildin by default option to exclude certain groups of customers from saving or collecting reward points from purchases ?
Don't believe so. If not, it would be a pretty small development project to do so if you knew which groups to include and/or exclude.
Just write a simple 'checkout.post.php' controller to see if any reward points are applied and if so, delete them.

Create a new group in Customers ->User Groups.
Then add the users, who should not receive the rewards points in this group.
Set the zero amounts for this user group in Marketing → Rewards points.
We didn't check this method, but it should work according to the logic.

Yes, it will work as this feature is mentioned in the CS-Cart reference:
Absolutely works. We only give points to “Registered” and it is setup exactly this way. We have a few other custom groups but everyone is set to '0' except registered.

Thank you for sharing this information.
By now we've created several user groups, depending on the % of discount they got in the old shop.
Some get no discount at all, e.g. newly registered customers don't get them yet… the reason is that the several discount systems were set up to invent a way to discourage people from using Paypal by rewarding them with a discount when using cheaper payment systems.
It took a while to figure out how the price in points (PER) and reward points system works, PER at 100 seemed the simplest .
Figuring what reflected 5% of subtotal as reward points took longer:500% apparently was the answer, not 5%.
