Customers using it can get rewards when they shop in participating businesses.

It was originally launched in 2018 by Perth based fintech Miconex and loyalty platform Stampfeet and, across the UK, it is approaching £1million in sales, with over 47,000 transactions.
The people backing it in Kirkcaldy hope it will strengthen the ‘shop local’ drive post-pandemic.
Hazel Cross, Fife Council’s town centre development officer, said: “We launched Mi Rewards Kirkcaldy not only to encourage customers to the town centre but to reward their loyalty as they continue to love and support local businesses.
“It’s a great, no hassle, rewards programme.

“Kirkcaldy town centre has a great mix of independent businesses.
“Everyone is encouraged to continue to support and love Kirkcaldy and the town will continue to reward you, not only with fantastic goods, services, experiences but now with Kirkcaldy reward points too.”
