Earn Rewards by Shopping Small During National Small Business Week

May 7, 2025 | By Alex Held

This National Small Business Week, support small and local businesses and get rewarded for your purchases through Open Rewards. Launched in 2022 by BizLaunch, Open Rewards is an innovative platform, where shoppers can earn 5% in cash back rewards for purchases made at local businesses, shoppers can then redeem those rewards for purchases at other local businesses.

Since the program’s launch, the National Landing Business Improvement District, the Columbia Pike Partnership and Ballston BID have joined Open Rewards, giving shoppers an additional 5% in cash back rewards for purchases made within their neighborhoods. Additionally for May, shoppers can earn twice the rewards for shopping at Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander (AANHPI) businesses in National Landing.
