Open Rewards

New Program to Incentivize Consumers to Shop Locally

Support Arlington’s small businesses and save money with the new Open Rewards program! BizLaunch has invested $5,000 from existing funds to pilot this customer rewards program, which lets shoppers earn 5% in reward credits while spending at local small businesses. Open Rewards is a partnership between BizLaunch and technology company BluDot. There is no cost for businesses or consumers to participate.

Starting September 30, 2025, Open Rewards will switch from dollars to points. Your rewards keep the same value — for example, 1,000 points still equals $10. You will earn, redeem and use the app just like you do now. Program rules and your dashboard will not change. Moving to points keeps things simple and flexible while everything else stays the same.

 

 

This effort not only helps Arlington’s small businesses, but also allows the consumers to earn cash back rewards by supporting them. In today’s economy, when everyone is watching their spending, this effort is a win-win for businesses and consumers.
