Places 360 for customers.
You tapped a tag on a counter, or someone scanned a code on your phone, and you got a stamp. Here is what that was, and what happens next.
ONE APP
Every place in one app, instead of one app each.
Places 360 keeps the loyalty cards for the local places you already go to. The café on the way to work, the bakery at the weekend, the deli that knows your order. They all sit in the same wallet, and where a place gives points on what you spend, your balance sits there too.
No cardboard card to lose at the bottom of a bag. No separate app to install for every counter. It works on iPhone and Android.
You don’t need an account to start.
Your first stamp works in guest mode. No email, no password, no form at the counter while someone waits behind you. If you sign in later, everything you have already collected comes with you. Nothing is lost by starting without an account.
Two ways to collect.
Hold your phone near the tag on the counter and the stamp lands. That is the quick one, and it needs nothing from staff.
If the tap doesn’t take, or your phone isn’t in the mood, open your card and let the person serving you scan the code on it. Same stamp, same card.
REWARDS
You confirm your own reward.
When a card is full, the reward arrives in your wallet and waits there until you want it.
You open it at the counter and confirm it yourself. A five-minute window starts, so the person serving you can see it counting down while they hand over the coffee. Nobody takes your phone.
If the five minutes run out and you haven’t used it, the reward comes back to your wallet. It isn’t spent, and it isn’t gone. You can open it again on your next visit.
Your stamps are a record, not a running total.
Every stamp is written down once and kept. The list is only ever added to, never edited over, so a card cannot quietly lose a stamp or be reset behind your back. If you think something is missing, there is a history to look at.
What a place can see about you.
A business sees what happened at that business: the stamps you collected there, the rewards you took, when you last came in. That is how the card works at all.
Your email address is yours to give. A venue can offer a discount in exchange for joining its newsletter, and it is your choice whether to take it. A business cannot see anywhere else you go or what you collect at other places. Each business only ever sees its own counter.
Some places let you order ahead.
Where a venue has put its menu in, you can read it in the app, pay by card and collect. Some take orders for eat-in, where you type or scan the table number, and some take orders a day or two ahead. Not every place offers it. The ones that do will say so on their page.
