Consumer Image gallery album list – Add “All” and “Favorites” to the top of the album list to simplify consumer navigation

Prepay v2 and Proof plan v2 – When using “Build your own package”, we updated so now there are three ways the system reminds the consumer to use their points:

1. “Select your items” screen – shows “points used” and “points remining”
   
   
2. NEW - When consumer tries to proceed to next screen, if they have used less than 50% of their points, then a message appears “you must select more items before proceeding”. If they have used at least 50% the interface allows the consumer to proceed. Before now the interface would only ensure the consumer chose one item. We chose 50% to ensure the customer feels like they have received value for their purchase without enforcing requirements that could be interpreted as being difficult to do business with.
   
   
3. Cart Screen – If not all points are used, there is a link “Use remaining points” to give the consumer a simple way to select more items if they wish.
