A milestone catalog is the set of gifts an employee can choose from when they reach a work anniversary, for example 5 years in India. They pick one gift, and it doesn't cost them any points. If there's no catalog for their years and country, they use the full rewards catalog instead.

Each catalog covers one number of years in one country, because gift prices vary by country. It's shared by every milestone award with the same years and country, so a change in one place changes it for all of them.

## Set it up in a milestone award

1. Go to **Recognition → Service milestone → Milestone awards**. Select **Add milestone award**, or open an award and select **Edit**.
2. On **Years of service**, turn on **Enable a catalog for this milestone**. This adds a **Reward catalog** step.
3. On **Reward points**, choose the countries for the award. The catalog can only cover those countries.
4. On **Reward catalog**, pick a country under **Choose a country**.
5. Under **Reward source**, choose where the gifts come from, then pick them (see below).
6. Select **Add to review**. The country now shows **Ready to save**. Repeat for each country you want a catalog for.
7. Select **Continue**, check **Milestone catalog** on **Review**, and save the award. The catalog is saved with it.

Countries you don't set up keep their existing reward setup.

## Choose the gifts

- **Curated:** the gifts available in that country appear as cards. Select **View details** to read about one. Select the cart button to add it; it then shows **Added**. Pick at least one. Each gift can only be used for one number of years at a time in a country, so gifts used by another milestone aren't shown.
- **Amazon:** only offered for the United States and Canada. For each deal, choose a category under **Select a category**, a **Min price** and **Max price**, and **All** or **Specific** brands under **Select brand(s)**. **Currently matches** shows how many products fit. **Maximum budget** is optional. If you set it, both prices must stay within it. To add more, select **Add another deal**. Available products change over time.

If a country already uses the **Global Catalog**, you'll see **Existing reward source: Global Catalog**. To make a curated catalog there, remove the existing one first in **Rewards Hub → Catalog → Milestone catalog**.

## Set it up in Rewards Hub

If your company has Service milestone, **Rewards Hub → Catalog** has a **Milestone catalog** tab that lists every catalog by milestone and country.

1. Select **Create milestone catalog**.
2. Choose the **Catalog type**. **Anniversary** is for work anniversaries. **Retirement** appears if your company has a retirement program.
3. For an anniversary, choose the **Tenure**. Then choose the **Country** and the **Reward source**, and pick the gifts as above.
4. Select **Save mapping**.

When you edit a catalog here, the tenure and country are fixed. To use them for something else, create a new catalog. **Remove mapping** deletes a catalog. Employees in that country then use the full rewards catalog for that milestone, and nobody loses points. You can't undo it.

## See what people chose

Go to **Rewards Hub → Reports** and open **Milestone Redemption Report**. Filter by **Country** and **Date Range**, select **Generate report**, then **Download CSV** or **Download Excel**. It lists each employee, the milestone year, the redeem date, the country and what they chose.

Employees choose their gift on their side of Vantage Circle. Point them to [Milestones and celebrations](/en/help/recognition/milestones-and-celebrations/).

## If something goes wrong

- **Turning the catalog off.** In a milestone award, turning off **Enable a catalog for this milestone** asks you to confirm with **Turn off catalog**. Saving then removes the catalogs for those years and countries, including for other awards that share them. Select **Keep catalog** to back out.
- **"Configure rewards for at least one country, or turn the catalog off."** Add at least one country with **Add to review**.
- **"Add your country changes to the review before continuing."** Select **Add to review** or **Cancel** for the country you're editing.
- **"No countries are available here …"** Choose countries on the **Reward points** step first.
- **"This catalog sets budgets by years of service, which can't be edited here."** That catalog keeps working for employees as it is.
- **"Milestone award saved. Changes could not be saved for: Catalog."** Your changes are still on screen. Save again.
- **An employee says they can't pick a second gift.** That's expected: one gift per catalog. They see "Sorry, you have already redeemed a gift from this catalog."
