Rewards Card Africa

Redemption channels

One card. Five ways to claim it.

Staff check email. Customers don't always have one. Partners and field agents are often offline or on a feature phone. The right channel depends on who's redeeming and where they are — so we built all of them into the same card.

Channel 01

USSD

Any handset, any network, zero data.

A customer dials a short code and redeems through a simple menu — no smartphone, no app, no data connection required. This is the channel with the widest possible reach across African markets, including feature-phone and rural audiences that other channels miss entirely.

Best for

  • FMCG on-pack promotions
  • Rural and field distribution
  • Markets with lower smartphone penetration

What the recipient needs

Any mobile phone with a SIM

Channel 02

WhatsApp

Rich, visual, and where your customers already are.

A guided WhatsApp flow lets recipients see the full catalogue, browse categories with images, and redeem without leaving the chat. With 90%+ penetration in markets like Nigeria, it's the natural default for urban and peri-urban audiences who want a richer experience than a USSD menu can offer.

Best for

  • Urban and peri-urban customers
  • Catalogue browsing with visuals
  • Partner and distributor updates

What the recipient needs

A smartphone with WhatsApp and data

Channel 03

Landing page link

One link, the full experience, shareable anywhere.

A unique link takes the recipient straight to their personalised redemption page — sent by email, SMS, social DM, or embedded in a campaign. Ideal when you already have a digital touchpoint with your audience and want the richest possible browsing experience.

Best for

  • Email and SMS campaigns
  • Digital marketing and social
  • Sales and partnership teams sending direct

What the recipient needs

Any device with a browser

Channel 04

Printed voucher

A physical card or slip with a code to redeem.

A printed voucher — handed out at an event, left at a retail counter, or included in a welcome pack — carries a redemption code recipients can claim via USSD, WhatsApp, or the landing page. Useful wherever the moment of reward is physical, not digital.

Best for

  • Events and conferences
  • Retail counter handouts
  • Welcome packs and physical gifting

What the recipient needs

Nothing — redemption happens after, on any channel

Built for staff, customers, and partners alike

One card, one catalogue, every redemption path. See how it works for the audience you're sending to.
