Today we are launching Card Club, a loyalty platform for local businesses that want repeat customers without plastic cards, paper punch cards, or asking people to install yet another app.
The short version: you set up one app, design a loyalty card in minutes, and start rewarding customers the same day. Your customers add the card to their Apple Wallet or Google Wallet and show a QR code in store. There is nothing for them to download.
What it does
Card Club turns the classic punch card into a digital card that updates itself. You can run two kinds of programs:
- Punch cards, where customers collect stamps toward a reward.
- Points, where customers earn points and redeem them for rewards you choose.
When someone earns a stamp or redeems a reward, their card balance updates automatically on their phone. No paper, no reprinting, no stale cards.
How Card Club can help your business
Our mission is simple: help local businesses make more money. Think about how many transactions happen in your store every day where the customer pays with Apple Wallet or Google Wallet. One of the most effective and affordable ways to turn those one-time visits into a lasting relationship, build loyalty, and grow revenue over time is a loyalty program.
With Card Club you create your program in minutes, and any customer at your counter can add your card to their Apple Wallet or Google Wallet on the spot. That is it. From then on, every time they pay at another business, they see your card too, a quiet reminder of your shop that brings them back more often and lifts your revenue over time.
Why we built it
Most loyalty tools ask customers to download an app, which is exactly where most programs quietly die. Card Club removes that step. The card lives where people already keep their tickets and boarding passes, so it is always with them.
A few things we cared about from day one:
- Zero hardware. Your phone is the scanner.
- Minutes to live. A guided setup takes you from your business name to a published card.
- Privacy first. Email is optional, QR codes carry no personal data, and we never sell anyone's information.
- Built for teams. Owners, managers, and staff each get their own role.
Get started
Card Club is available now on iPhone and Android. Download the app, pick a reward, and your first customer can be holding their card before the end of the day.
Common questions
Do my customers need to download an app? No. They add your card to the Apple Wallet or Google Wallet already on their phone and show a QR code in store. There is nothing to install.
Does Card Club work on iPhone and Android? Yes. The Card Club app is available on both iOS and Android, and your customers' cards work in Apple Wallet and Google Wallet.
How long does setup take? Minutes. A guided flow takes you from your business name to a published card, with no hardware to buy and no point-of-sale integration required.
We will keep sharing practical guides on loyalty and repeat customers here every few days. This is just the start.
