Excommunication
The Catholic Church has never issued rewards for anybody. The only thing that the Catholic Church did to Martin Luther was to formalize his excommunication, see it at the link below:

ExcommunicationRoman Catholic AnswerI could be wrong, but I don't know of anyway to remove a person from the Catholic Church. If a person is a Catholic, then they remain a Catholic, subject to all the laws of the Church until they die. An excommunicated person is under a specific penalty in which they can not receive the Sacraments or be given a Christian burial, but they are still required to attend Mass, and abide by all the other regulations. A person may remove themselves from the Church's jurisdiction, but they are the only ones who may do that - the Church cannot.
excommunication
You may be thinking of excommunication. However, in the Catholic Church, excommunication just means that you are under a discipline that forbids you from receiving any sacrament except confession. The Catholic Church really does not have anything that casts you out of the Church. Once you are baptized you are a member of Christ's Body, and will remain such a member, and hence a member of the Church, for all eternity, unless you cast yourself into hell upon your death.
Elizabeth I's excommunication by the Pope in 1570 resulted in increased tensions between England and Catholic Europe, leading to plots against her life such as the Babington Plot. It also solidified England's break from the Catholic Church and fueled English nationalism.
