Scenario
U+ Bank is currently doing cross-sell on the web by showing various credit cards to its customers. Due to the hyped interest rates, the economy has slowed down. The bank has chosen to announce a festive offer to all customers who are likely to bring in the most revenue to help create demand in a slowing economy.
U+ Bank introduces a new festive offer, giving 15% cash back to all the customers whose credit score is higher than 250. The bank also wants to promote this offer at its best by giving a business weight of 75%.
Note: The value for this business lever is set at this stage purely for the purpose of this challenge so that the offer is shown up among the first times on the U+ website. Normally a business lever is set only if business wants to push the offer for a particular reason.
