French term or phrase: à valoir auprès de l’enseigne
L’octroi de la récompense au client est conditionné par la régularité de ses visites (au moins une visite par semaine à raison de 12 semaines sur les 14) et du niveau de ses dépenses (au moins 40 $ par visite). A l’issue des trois mois, les clients ayant rempli ces conditions reçoivent un bon d’achat d’une valeur de 40 $ à valoir auprès de l’enseigne.

I understand this to mean "on account with the corporate name" but would be grateful for any alternatives.

valid as indicated


Explanation:
"After three months, for customers who have fulfilled these conditions receive a $40 voucher valid as indicated..."

Sorry - I cannot make any connection with the asker's "on account with the corporate name" - although within the context that may work. I think it's a tad simpler, and even in marketing terms my suggestion feels about right...

But then, I could be wrong.

valid at any one of our stores


Explanation:
CMJ's explanation is correct I believe. The voucher can exchanged for merchandise at any store bearing the name (the sign) of the company.

another context:

'valid at any store bearing our name, sign, logo'

example: Western Union wants to give such vouchers to its regular clients. WU does business mostly through various other businesses. The client could exhange the voucher at any such business bearing the WU logo sticker.
