EARN CASH BACK REWARDS BY SUPPORTING LOCAL BUSINESSES
Whether you're a resident or a visitor, you can earn cash back rewards on all of your purchases at participating businesses in communities that have Open Rewards. Visiting Las Vegas for the weekend? Earn cash back at hundreds of businesses in downtown Las Vegas. In DC for work? Shoot over to Arlington and explore hundreds of vibrant local businesses and earn cash back.
Open Rewards allows you to discover new favorites right from the app, from restaurants to retail shops to gyms to salons—and everything in between.
You can automatically earn rewards by linking your credit or taking a photo of your receipt and uploading it in the app. It's that easy.
CASH OUT YOUR REWARDS VIA PAYPAL OR VENMO
Have $50 sitting in your Open Rewards account? Go visit one of the businesses in the app, make a purchase, upload your receipt and cash out your rewards! And, also, earn additional cash back rewards from that purchase.
SUPPORT THE LIFEFORCE OF YOUR COMMUNITY—LOCAL BUSINESSES
Local businesses are the heart and soul of many communities, but often times don't have the ability to create their own large-scale rewards programs (like a Starbucks or Sephora). But, with Open Rewards, local businesses in a community can join a large network and give shoppers hundreds, if not more, businesses to earn and redeem rewards at. We believe in the power of community and want to help you support your local businesses—and earn some cash back in the process :)

Ratings and Reviews
Overall pretty good!
The app seems to overall work fairly well.
Though it’s easy to search for the business to claim a reward, it seems as though you should also be able to search your bank’s transactions to quickly locate and match the purchase. Or better yet, once you link your favorite business (Chipotle on Main St) to a how it shows up as a bank transaction (Chipotle #1055), why not have an option to always link to that same business and transaction going forward? It seems as though possibly this process is made intentionally harder on purpose, to limit users from taking full advantage of the program. ???
It also takes up to a few weeks to get many of the rewards to post for some reason.
Hopefully the developers can look into these minor flaws, as the concept is really great!

Great app, but been having issues
Love the app have been using this since 2023, but lately I’ve been seeing some issues with my transactions, not appearing on my account. What typically would only take a week for my transactions to show, eventually turned into not appearing at all. I’ve made purchases at qualifying shops, but I have not seen anything being reflected for those transactions on my account since last year, December 2023.

Hi there, thanks so much for using Open Rewards and our sincere apologies for the issue. That does not sound right. If you could contact us at support@bludot.io, we'll be able to investigate your connected accounts and make sure you get all the rewards. Thanks again!
Love the concept!
While the app is pretty confusing to use and could benefit from some major UX improvements, the concept is great and I appreciate the city funding this. I’ve been able to have some fun lunch outings with my son for free with the money I received, and it’s pretty generous that you can earn money in rewards while you’re redeeming them at the same time! I hope they add more restaurants because that’s what I use it for.
