  text: Coalition loyalty programs are on the rise, yet few studies investigate the
    impact of service failures in such programs. Using data from a retail context,
    the authors show that a program partner deemed responsible for a service failure
    suffers negative customer responses. However, customers’ perceptions of the benefits
    of the coalition loyalty program buffer these consequences. Perhaps most importantly,
    when customers perceive the program's special treatment benefits as low, direct
    and indirect spillover effects occur, such that a service failure by one program
    partner has a negative effect on customer loyalty toward the program itself.
