Optimus: Shopping Reward Dollars

Optimus: Shopping Reward Dollars

Optimus is a reward partner that Cinch has partnered with to provide Cinch Customers discounts across dining, online shopping, travel, and more!
  1. Reward Dollars are NOT to be confused with a Gift Card or Pre-Paid Reward Card.
  2. Customer is given a one-time reward ($100-$500 Reward Dollars).
  3. Customer can then use those Reward Dollars to gain access to discounts/savings in dining, online shopping, travel, and even local partners. For example:
    1. A customer is given $100 Reward Dollars.
    2. Customer uses $10 Reward Dollars to claim a BOGO (Buy One Get One) coupon to a local restaurant.
    3. Customer prints BOGO coupon and heads to their local restaurant.
    4. Customer’s bank now has $90 Reward Dollars.

Process

  1. Customer will receive an email from Optimus.
  2. Customers click on Optimus's email (www.homeserviceperks.com) and enter their 10-digit phone number and 5-digit zip code to log in.
    1. For Local Shopping, the customer will enter their address or zip code, select a local retailer, print their coupon, and the “cost” of the coupon is subtracted from available rewards.
    2. For Dining Savings, the customer will enter their address or zip code, select a local retailer, print their coupon, and the “cost” of the coupon is subtracted from available rewards.
    3. For Online Shopping, the customer can browse types of products and then drill down to the product of interest, site will show them the retail price, the rewards dollars applied, and their total. Customer then proceeds to checkout providing their shipping address and credit card number. Product will ship in 5-7 business days.
