Soon, You Can Use Loyal Coins to Redeem Rewards from Different Brands

Loyalty Reward Programs are common in the Philippines. Starbucks has a loyalty card that can net you free coffee on your birthday. Bench has one. SM has advantage and prestige cards. Created to foster loyalty of the customers to the brand, you can’t help but notice that there are so many of them right now. Your wallet may not be able to fit all of these cards.

What if there’s just one loyalty reward program that can be used across different brands? And since we are into cryptocurrency, what if it is purely digital? Loyal Coin might just be the answer to that.

Loyal Coin Philippines

Built on the blockchain, local firm Appsolutely wants Loyal Coins to replace the traditional rewards points that we come to receive when we load our mobile phone or when we buy something at SM. Rather than different reward points existing in different places, everything can be on the Loyal Platform. Customers earn Loyal Coins from brands (retailers/merchants). They can then choose to use it on the same brand or pay for items from another brand.

All this happening on the Loyal Platform, built on the blockchain, which allows inter-brand rewards system to be transparent and possible.

How to Earn Loyal Coins

Whenever you buy something, let’s say from Brand A, you will earn a token – Loyal Coin. You can then use it to redeem rewards from Brand A, or use it to redeem or purchase from Brand B and C.

Where will Loyal Coins be Stored?

It will be stored in the blockchain-backed “Loyal Wallet“. From the wallet, you can pay online or even convert your Loyal Coins into bitcoin or ethereum or even Pesos.

How is this going to be beneficial to customers?

You have one rewards system for all brands who participated. The Loyal Coin can be used and be redeemed to any merchant regardless if you receive it from another merchant.

This can negate the need for the merchant to create its own rewards platform, which should be added cost. Furthermore, participating means the merchant’s product is promoted through the platform.

Overall

A rewards program across different brands under one coin is probably a very real-use case of the blockchain technology in an existing industry. Appsolutely is in talks with certain brands to participate in the Loyal Platform. But whether they participate or not, the rewards program industry will not be the last to get disrupted by the blockchain technology.
