CRED rewards its users for making credit card payments through CRED Coins. Till now, CRED Coins were only allowed to be used for in-app purchases from the startup’s ecommerce marketplace.
For the pilot, CRED has partnered online and offline merchants to allow its users to redeem CRED Coins for select products at their outlets or apps, the sources said. For instance, a CRED member will be able to use coins at food and beverage outlets after scanning a QR at the merchant outlet. After the verification, the user will be able to redeem CRED Coins for getting discounts.
The coins can also be used to buy Zepto Pass, the quick commerce startup’s membership programme. In addition to redeeming coins, users can earn cashback or vouchers on the websites of brands like Urban Company and ixigo to get cashbacks and vouchers. CRED plans to soon add more merchants to the programme.
The pilot is currently live for a few selected users. They can use CRED coins for making online purchases on the apps and websites of select merchants. The offline stores for the programme will go live soon in Bengaluru, before national expansion.
