A paper punch card gets lost, forgotten, and tells you nothing. A Sopoints digital loyalty card sits in Apple Wallet or Google Wallet next to the customer's payment cards — always present, always showing a live balance, and quietly recording the visit data your business has never had.
The punch card’s fatal flaw is not the paper — it is that the card holds the record. Lost card, lost progress, lost customer goodwill. A digital card is just a window onto a server-side balance, so progress survives lost phones, staff turnover, and every rainy Tuesday.
It also turns invisible regulars into a customer list. Every earn is a timestamped visit attached to a person you can now reach — which is what makes birthday offers and win-back campaigns possible at all.

Lives in Apple Wallet and Google Wallet — no app open needed to show it.
Shows the live points balance and what it is worth (1 point = $0.01 CAD).
Updates instantly when points are earned by QR scan, NFC tap, or from the merchant’s POS screen.
Carries your branding on the pass, not generic network artwork.
Enrolment takes seconds at the counter — a phone number is enough to start; the wallet pass is one more tap.

Because Sopoints is a coalition, the card in a customer’s wallet is not just yours — it is a balance that works at 1,000+ Canadian merchants. That cuts both ways in your favour: your customers actually keep and use the card because it is useful everywhere, and other merchants’ customers carry a card that already works at your counter.

If your customers love the buy-nine-get-one ritual, keep it — a visit-based reward reproduces the punch card exactly, minus the paper. When you are ready, switch to spend-based points so a $40 order earns more than a $4 one. Either way the card, the data and the campaigns stay the same.
