WBN Community Rewards · For local businesses
Bring new customers through your door.
WBN Community Rewards puts your business in front of card holders in your community — people actively looking for places to eat, shop, learn and explore. Start free with one offer, and grow when it works for you.
Why businesses join
👥
Reach people who are ready to buy
Card holders open WBN Community Rewards to find something to do, eat or buy. Your offer appears in your community, in the right categories, and in collections like What’s Free?, Where Can I Save? and seasonal sales.
🆓
Start free — no contract
A free partner account comes with one live offer. No credit card, no long-term commitment.
📰
Backed by your local news
WBN News publishers know your community. Your business sits alongside the local stories, events and recommendations readers already trust.
🔐
Every visit counted
In-store offers use a simple six-character code that your staff confirm once. You see every confirmed redemption — real customers, not guesses.
🗺️
Your own business page
Your partner page shows your offers, your description, your website and, if you choose, a map with directions.
✅
Trusted by members
Every partner and every offer is approved by WBN before members see it, so card holders know your offer is real.
How it works
- Apply free. A short online form — about ten minutes. You can stop and come back.
- We review it. WBN checks your details, usually within a few business days.
- Add your offer. Write it yourself in your Partner Desk, or ask us and we’ll set it up with you.
- It goes live. Once approved, card holders in your community see it straight away.
- Customers use it. At the counter, a member shows a code and your staff confirm it. Online offers link straight to your website.

1. The member taps Use it now and shows a six-character code. It lasts ten minutes.
2. Your staff type it into Confirm a code. It says Good to give or Do not give, with the reason.

Partner tiers
Every business starts free, with one live offer, one community and one partner account.
When you want more — more offers, more communities, more staff accounts, featured placement and richer reports — paid tiers are available. Nobody is charged until you choose a paid tier and confirm it with WBN.
Local and beyond
WBN Community Rewards launches in communities including Vancouver, Delta, Surrey and Langley, alongside a growing marketplace of online offers. Local businesses reach their neighbours; online businesses can reach card holders wherever they are.
