Somewhere in your kitchen drawer there is a loyalty card you signed up for and never used again. There is probably another one in the car, and a third registered to an email account with a password you would have to reset. None of them is doing anything wrong. They are just scattered — and a saving you cannot find at the moment you need it is not a saving at all.
The same thing happens with offers. Stores publish coupons, member prices, and rewards that expire quietly, because nobody put them in front of you before your trip. The money is not hidden, exactly. It is never gathered in one place, at the one moment it matters: before you shop.
What Givvy is
Givvy is a wallet for the way you already shop. It holds your loyalty cards and passes, the offers you have saved, and the rewards you have earned, in one place — and it keeps a single catalog of stores, deals, loyalty programs, and places your rewards spend, so the saving and the place it works are never on two different pages.
Every store on Givvy gets one page that answers the questions you actually have: what can I save here now, what is my membership here, and do my rewards spend here. Every offer shows what it is worth, what you have to do, when it ends, and when it was last verified — on its face, not in fine print.
What Givvy will offer
As Givvy opens, the wallet comes first: add the cards and passes you already carry, and show them at checkout the way you always have. Around the wallet, the catalog grows store by store — and a listing goes live only when the merchant has confirmed it and it carries a verification date. Listings that are still examples are labeled as examples. We would rather show you a smaller catalog we can stand behind than a big one we cannot.
Two distinctions will never be blurred here. A stored pass is the card you carry, kept in your wallet — it does not sync a balance, and we label it exactly that way. A connected account is different: your balance stays up to date. And a discount is not a reward. A discount lowers the price of the trip you are on; rewards land in your wallet afterward, labeled available, pending, or expiring soon, and spend like money at stores that accept them.
Sweepstakes will appear on Givvy too, in their own place, clearly separated from guaranteed savings — always with a free way to enter, the official rules attached, and eligibility stated up front. No purchase is ever required to enter a sweepstakes listed here.
What Givvy does with your information
Givvy is free for shoppers, and it does not sell personal data. It works on aggregate, anonymized, opt-in information only — and in your account you can see exactly what is shared. That is the whole bargain, stated before you sign up rather than after.
Givvy is being built now, and this blog is where we will explain what it does, store by store and feature by feature, as each part opens. Start with how it works, or browse the catalog and see the shape of it.
