Turn University Loyalty Into Recurring Funding
Increase lifetime alumni value. Strengthen engagement. Create a recurring revenue stream from students, alumni, and fans.
Not another perk. A funding engine.
You're under pressure to increase revenue without raising tuition or increasing fundraising demands.
Fundraising is getting harder.
Donor fatigue is real.
Student expectations are rising.
Engagement after graduation is difficult to maintain.
Most universities focus on enrollment and fundraising.
Very few focus on monetizing the loyalty they already have.
You don’t need another benefit program.
You need something students and alumni actually use.
That generates funding while they use it.
What if engagement, loyalty, and new funding could all be improved with one program?
Most loyalty programs don’t get used (only 3-4% on average).
Too many steps. Customers forget. Requires behavior change. Hard to prove ROI.
High cost. Low engagement. So we built something different.
A rewards program that gets used without effort.
Earn Automatically
Students & alumni link their Visa/Mastercards once. Cashback accrues automatically whenever they swipe/tap/or enter their card
30x Higher Conversion
30x higher conversion vs click-based loyalty. Works both online and in-person. Tied to card transactions, so passive & sticky
No Extra Steps
No coupons. No codes. No remembering. No behavior change. The difference between getting used or being forgotten.
It’s predicted 99% of all credit and debit cards will be card-linked within 3 to 4 years. The question is, will they be linked to your program, or someone else’s?
Turn University Loyalty Into Recurring Revenue
Most university perks only reward campus purchases.
This rewards students, alumni, and fans for their entire lifestyle.
The old way: Discounts and perks tied only to campus activity.
The new way: Cashback on purchases they're already making. Things they're already buying. At places they're already spending.
50K+ restaurants, 8,000+ of the world’s top merchants, and 850,000+ hotels and attractions.
Imagine...every single time they swipe, tap, or enter their card number, your university earns 10% of all cashback generated.
On top of, not instead of (triple-dipping allowed)
This cashback stacks on top of existing credit card rewards and loyalty programs.
Students, alumni, & supporters don’t give anything up. They just earn more.
Double and triple dipping is allowed!
Example scenario: Your customer earns cashback from this program, rewards from a hotel loyalty program, and points from their credit card provider.

🚀 Built-In Growth Engine
Students have friends. Alumni have networks. Fans have communities.
When they see others earning cashback where they already spend, they want in. With one scan they join and start earning. Both receive a $5 referral bonus.
Every person that uses our app shares it with 2 others, expanding your university’s reach and goodwill organically.
And because your university earns from all cashback generated, your revenue multiplies as your app gets shared.
Earn Where They Already Spend
Merchant funded. Not university funded.

The funding comes from merchants competing for customers.
Not your university.
Not your students.
Not your alumni.
Most university programs are designed for participation, not revenue.
The same infrastructure enterprises invest $500K–$2M+ to build internally:
- Reward marketplaces
- Engagement tools
- Referral growth
- Customer insights
...but without the 7-figure investment.
- No development cost
- No management complexity
- No reward liability
- No operational burden
- No staff needed
Loyalty is good. Engagement that generates funding is better.
*Only ongoing expense is how many cards you have linked, ready to earn ($250/mo per 5,000 linked cards).
One-time setup. Long-term revenue.
How a Major University Turned Loyalty Into Funding
A major Division I university white-labeled our platform as their own travel portal.
200K+ alumni and fans are now saving up to 50% on over 850,000 hotels and attractions worldwide, positioned as "every booking backs the cougs”, “fueling the program we love”.
Instead of travel dollars going to big booking sites, "they keep us in the fight for top talent"... helping fund athletics, scholarships, and programs.
That’s loyalty turned into measurable impact.
