Earn rewards when you shop locally.

For shoppers

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.

Local spending per $1 invested, platform-wide

Shoppers earn rewards. Businesses can reach local customers. Cities can track program spending.

Figures reported by Open Rewards. The 87% figure is shopper feedback. The 24X+ calculation and what counts as investment still need confirmation.

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

Each card shows a city’s reported result, reporting period and source. Ratios compare reported local spending with the city’s stated investment; dollar-only cards show totals. The measures differ between programs, and these figures do not show a shopper’s reward rate.
