Powerful loyalty. Delivered by text.
PunchCards turns your repeat business into automatic revenue using SMS-powered punch cards.
How It Works in 3 Steps
1. Customer Texts Keyword
A customer makes a purchase and texts your unique keyword (like "PUNCH") to your dedicated business number.
2. System Logs & Replies
Our system instantly logs their visit and sends a reply showing their updated punch card progress. No apps needed.
3. Reward is Sent Automatically
Once the goal is met, we automatically text them a unique reward code they can show to redeem. You just set it and forget it.
How Do Visit Check-Ins Work?
In-Person Only. No Guesswork.
Each PunchCards system includes a custom QR code sign placed physically at your location—whether it’s on your counter, table, or truck window.
Customers must scan the QR code on-site to log a visit. It’s fast, familiar, and ensures only real, in-person visits are counted.
Built-In Check-In Safeguards
We’ve added smart controls to keep your program secure and fair:
- One check-in per customer per day
- Check-ins outside business hours are filtered
- Optional rotating QR codes for security
- No apps or logins required for customers
The result: A loyalty program that’s modern, automated, and grounded in real customer visits—not guesswork.
Perfect for any business with loyal customers.
