How does Open Rewards benefit your business?

  1. Your business is listed and promoted on the app as part of your community.
  2. Customers know they will earn rewards when they shop at your business.
  3. When customers look for a place to spend the rewards they've earned, they will be able to pick yours!
  4. Your customers will be earning and redeeming rewards behind the scenes. No action is required from you!
  5. With the city's funding, there is no cost to your business. All the rewards customers earn are funded by the city!
