Civic Rewards

Points for showing up for your city, redeemed at local businesses.

A reason to open the app on a day when nothing is wrong.

Staff award civic points for the participation that keeps a small city running, such as completing alert setup, attending a commission meeting or joining a cleanup. Residents redeem points for offers from local businesses with a code shown at the counter. It gives residents a reason to open the app on a day when nothing is wrong.

01

Points for the participation your city wants

Staff award points to residents with a reason they write, so the record says why. NeighborLift also awards points when a neighbor confirms that a help request was completed. Residents see their balance and their history in the app they already use for alerts.

Offers from local businesses, redeemed with a code

Create an offer with a title, a description, a points cost and a Local badge, switch it on or off, and optionally cap how many times it can be redeemed. Residents browse the active offers and redeem for a code. Staff look the code up at the counter and mark it used.

Questions we hear

Common questions

Are points awarded automatically?

Staff award points, and NeighborLift awards them when a help request is confirmed. Other activity does not earn points on its own.

Can points become a credit on a utility statement?

No. Offers are redeemed for a code that the business honors. Bloomz does not apply points to a bill.

Do local businesses need a login?

No. The city creates the offer and the business honors the code at the counter.
