One card that is SpotOn all over town

You know the routine at so many retail companies and restaurants. You reach the end of the meal/shopping excursion, and it’s time to pay the bill. We can already hear the sigh as you start to fish through your wallet or purse to find the particular rewards card you need for that particular place. Imagine if we piled everyone’s vast collection of rewards cards together, and you can see where the world’s plastic supplies have gone. On a serious note, though, that’s the best thing about SpotOn.

SpotOn launched in April of last year as a way to help businesses create loyal customers. SpotOn is easy for merchants to use, and it’s even simpler for Cheapsters like you. Instead of having to hold different rewards cards for every business you want to earn perks with, you just hold a membership at SpotOn. As for how many businesses you can find here in the Indianapolis area alone, click here and take a look for yourself. After that, you can click here to sign up for your own SpotOn account.

More of a mall kind of gal? The app equivalent for retailers is ShopKick, where you earn points toward gift cards just for walking in certain stores. You rack up points when you scan merchandise while you’re there. If anything, it can add to your rewards for hitting the stores this holiday season.
