Local spending.
A shared benefit.

Residents earn rewards at eligible businesses and can redeem them at another eligible business in the same community. City-sponsored rewards give local businesses a shared program without added rewards-processing work.

You define the program geography, eligible businesses, reward parameters, and funding.

your community needs.
