People walking along a shopping street under trees

Earn rewards when you shop locally.

Shop at eligible businesses, then use your rewards toward another eligible purchase in the same community.

For shoppers
Entrance to a local restaurant

Reach shoppers through your city’s rewards program.

In a participating city program, the city funds the rewards at no cost to your business. Your staff doesn’t change how they work. Eligible businesses may already be listed. Claiming your profile is a separate step.

For businesses
Downtown street with outdoor dining

Give people a reason to shop locally.

You choose the budget, eligible businesses and reward rules. Open Rewards handles setup, reward processing, support and reporting.

For cities and counties

How shoppers
earn and use rewards.

Check your community in the app to find businesses with an active rewards offer. Not every listed business has one.

  • Shop at one of those businesses.
  • Earn with receipts, or link a card if you prefer.
  • Use approved rewards toward another eligible purchase in the same community.

ROI in local economic impact

Figures reported by Open Rewards. The 87% figure is shopper feedback.

Cities report local spending of 12 to 25 times what they put in.

Each card shows a city’s reported result, period and source. Ratios compare reported local spending with the city’s stated investment; dollar-only cards show totals. What gets counted differs by program. A ratio is local spending per dollar the city put in, not the reward rate shoppers earn.
