I have this working exactly the way we wanted. Here is how i did it.

In the checkout template "Initialize progress loading" script section we added the bolded code.

        // Initialize progress loading
        $(document).ajaxStart(function () {
            // Only show loading if it exceeds 1 sec
            $("#rvdsfLoading").data("timer", setTimeout(function () { $("#rvdsfLoading").show(); }, 1000))
        }).ajaxStop(function () {
            if ($("#rvdsfLoading").data("timer"))
                clearTimeout($("#rvdsfLoading").data("timer"))

            $("#rvdsfLoading").hide();

            //RSA Addition - Auto apply points filling
            if (!$(".rsa-points-applied").length) {
                //Calculate points to pay for order
                var points = Math.round($("#rvdsfCheckoutPanelContainer")[0].viewModel.SalesOrderSet.TotalAmount() * 100); 
                //Make points = avaialble points, when less than payment due amount
                if (points > $("#rvdsfCheckoutPanelContainer")[0].viewModel.AvailableRewardsPoints() )
                    points = $("#rvdsfCheckoutPanelContainer")[0].viewModel.AvailableRewardsPoints();  
                if (points > 0 )  //Only set points to apply when > 0
                    $("#rvdsfCheckoutPanelContainer")[0].viewModel.RewardsPoint(points); 
            }

        })

 

Awesome job!

Thanks for sharing :)

Additional comment. We hard coded in our modification that a point is worth $0.01. That is why we multiplied the balance due by 100.

Hi Rutledge - Thanks for sharing. I was wondering if I could ask you for some assistance as I am not a coder. I am trying to do the same thing in the list template where I want to show the number of points necessary to purchase the product. So right under the Product price, I want to show the points required based on a 0.01 point value. I would greatly appreciate any input! Thanks!
