Terms and Conditions can be found at www.localrewards.ie/ ABOUT LOCALREWARDS.IE The software used in Carrigaline was developed by myrewardcard.ie, a Cork company. After seeing customer research showing the popularity of Loyalty Cards and knowing that existing solutions were too expensive and complex for most small businesses they developed a solution that would allow those businesses to replace cardboard stamped cards with real loyalty cards. The solution is in use with individual businesses around the country. Carrigaline is the first town to use it to allow holders of the one card to access multiple individual loyalty programs. The company is looking at expanding the service to other towns in Ireland.
