Inside The Rewards Pass: A Different Use for Your Digital Wallet

Typically, a digital wallet contains something like a ticket, a boarding pass or a payment card. The Rewards Pass gives this familiar space another job, though, providing an entranceway to offers and tasks that customers can complete to earn cash.

According to the brand, it has more than 1 million members. The product experience starts with adding a pass to Apple Wallet or Google Wallet, and opening the pass to discover activities. If you're interested in the practical aspects of the story, the most informative part will be the ins and outs of the experience and what you should know before joining it.

According to the company, “Users add the pass to their device, open it in their wallet to find offers and tasks, and complete the instructions to earn money.”

THE REWARDS PASS does not require a separate Rewards Pass app for wallet enrollment. Instead, the pass lets users access earning opportunities from their device.

Steps are direct: add the pass, choose an offer/task, read the instructions and complete the activity. The route in Apple Wallet goes through the pass's three-dot menu, then Pass Details and Make Money. Selecting an offer may then require using a third-party application or completing another qualifying action.

The difference is that the pass is the starting point and the individual offer dictates the work. These activities could be trying an app or achieving a milestone in a game. These can also include registrations, purchases or subscriptions. When choosing an offer, it's essential to take into account the requirements associated with it, such as any expenses or ongoing commitments.

One of the most significant features of the product is the balance that is shown on the pass in Apple Wallet.

“As rewards are credited, users can see their balance grow directly on the pass in Apple Wallet”.

That makes the credited rewards visible within the wallet experience. Users can go back to the pass and check their balance, rather than ending the process by enrolling in the pass. There is an advertiser-backed scheme behind those rewards. Eligible participants may be able to receive compensation for qualifying actions. The availability of a reward for an activity depends on the following: requirements, tracking and approval. If you are a first-time visitor to the service, this is a good way to understand why it is important to read the offer carefully. A reward is linked to a specific behavior and other rewards may have various requirements.

Being able to see a balance is part one, redeeming it is the other. According to the company, there is a $50 minimum for redemption unless otherwise specified. The balance also needs to be validated; available redemption methods vary, and the redemption terms don't promise a specific time frame.

The same care is required with the promotional credit. The welcome amount is promotional pass credit, not an instant cash award. Adding the pass alone does not complete an earning offer. THE REWARDS PASS should also be viewed separately from any prepaid card received through redemption. A balance on a wallet pass does not necessarily mean it can be spent via tap-to-pay.

The differences provide prospective members with a more comprehensive understanding of what participation entails, and what the conditions for redemption are.

Helpful explanations matter throughout the user journey.

This includes explaining redemption as part of the product experience.

The same rule applies to follow-up communication. The project has included directions on where to find offers, milestone reminders and support responses to individual reward questions. For a lifestyle audience, the resulting story is useful: having a wallet pass creates a way to find activities, and with clear instructions, users can determine if a specific opportunity is right for them.

THE REWARDS PASS is designed for adults (18 years of age and older) in the United States. The thing that really stands out about it is that you can easily picture how it works: the pass is in a familiar wallet, earning opportunities are accessible through it, and as qualifying rewards are added to the balance, it grows over time.
