Local Rewards

Local Rewards provides SMS rewards balance notification services for participating merchants. The service allows customers who enroll at a merchant's point-of-sale to receive informational text message updates regarding their rewards account activity.

These messages help customers stay informed about their rewards points balance and account activity associated with the specific merchant where they enrolled.
