INTRODUCING Wise Rewards™

Wise Rewards™ help you discover the best experiences in your city (and all over the world) and reward you for doing so!

Your time is valuable and you’re happy to pay for quality…but you don’t know who to trust when they recommend a restaurant, spa, bar, or great new gym. That’s why we’ve created Wise Rewards™.


How Wise Rewards™ is different: 

We only allow vetted, quality businesses to participate in our Wise Rewards™ program. You trust us and we honor that trust by only recommending businesses that have met or exceeded our standard for what we view to be a worthwhile business for our members.

How we vet potential businesses:

Acting anonymously, we seek out the best things to eat, do, and see—both in our city and in the world at large. Then we share our findings and recommend the best to our members.


OUR UNIQUE APPROACH:

1.     We create our list through trusted publications and member recommendations. We create our List of restaurants, experiences, and hotels that we’ll check out. Then… 

2.     We pay to play. We patronize the businesses and gauge the experience and always pay our own way to truly evaluate the experience.

3.     We assign a score and update our List. Using our proprietary, objective-as-possible scoring method, we decide whether the business is a candidate for our members. We regularly update our List, evaluating businesses to be added and removed. We work to keep things fresh, relying on our members for feedback on our merchant partners to ensure a quality experience.


Great, So How's the Rewards™ Part Work?

Glad you asked. In addition to being a trusted resource for curated experiences, you can earn rewards by patronizing businesses that remain on our List and have a “Wise Rewards™ Partner” label. Here’s how:

1.     Enjoy the services or goods of a participating business (Learn more about how businesses qualify to participate in the Wise Rewards™ program by clicking here.)

2.     Snap a photo of your receipt using the easy 3-step process here.

3.     Earn rewards toward your preferred Wise Wellness Guild Membership once your purchase is verified.

The Details

Purpose of the Program: Wellness

Additionally, we run the Program as a way to support businesses that we believe advance wellness principles. Businesses participate as a way to support Wise members.

In short, our program exists in service of Wellness for all involved. Welcome.

Changes to Program

We may make changes to the Program and/or the Terms at any time. We’ll let you know of any material changes as soon as practicable, of course.  

 

Earning Rewards

You may earn rewards by making a qualifying purchase at a participating business, based on the terms appearing on our website from time to time, during a period of time while you have an active Wise Membership.

 

·     20% Rewards.You may earn 20% rewards at select partners, identified from time to time on our website. There is no maximum on the amount you may earn at such partners.

·     10% Rewards.You may earn 10% rewards at select businesses, identified from time to time on our website. You may earn up to $1,000 in Wise Rewards™ at such businesses.

·     5% Rewards.You may earn 5% rewards at all other businesses where you make a Qualified Purchase as defined below. You may earn up to $500 in Wise Rewards™ at such businesses.

 

You’ll earn rewards when you have an active Wise Membership and purchase products or services for yourself, your family, and/or your friends, minus any returns or refunds at businesses operating pursuant to local, state, and/or federal registration and permit requirements (collectively, “Qualifying Purchases”). Buying products and services in most cases will count as a Qualifying Purchase; however, the following purchases will not count as Qualifying Purchases:

·     Cashier’s checks, money orders, foreign currency, or similar cash-like transactions;

·     Lottery tickets, casino gaming chips, race track bets, or similar betting transactions; 

·     Goods or services of individuals or businesses without appropriate business licenses and/or receipts issued in support of a transaction; or

·     Illegal transactions for illicit goods or services.

 

 

Claiming Rewards

Within ten (10) business days after making a Qualifying Purchase, submit evidence of the transaction to the link provided in connection with the Wise Rewards™ program. Upload the requested information and it will be linked with your Wise account, reviewed, and Rewards will be issued within ten (10) business days of the close of a calendar quarter (with quarters ending at the end of March, June, September, and December).  

 

How, and How Often, Rewards are Issued

Once you’ve requested a Reward, our Program administrator reviews the evidence you’ve submitted to check the total Reward for which you may be eligible. Rewards are issued at least once annually (on a calendar year basis), after review of all evidence submitted by the respective Member in support thereof. Rewards may be, but are not required to be, issued more frequently, at the sole discretion of the Program administrator.

 

How You Can Use your Rewards

You may redeem rewards toward a Wise Membership upgrade of your current membership or to extend your current Membership beyond your current subscription. 

 

Example 1: $15,000 Spend. If you participate in Wise Rewards™ for a full calendar year and submit your claim at the end of the year, claiming:

 

Spend

·     $10,000 spent at 20% partners, 

·     $1,000 spent at 10% businesses, and 

·     $4,000 spent at 5% businesses, with proper evidence of each, you would receive Wise Rewards™ of:

Earn

·     $2,000 for the 20% Partners spend (no limit on earnings at 20% Partners);

·     $100 for the 10% businesses spend; and 

·     $200 for the 5% businesses spend (maximum of $500 per year). 

 

For a total of $2,300 in Wise Rewards™.

 

Using the $2,300 Wise Rewards™ in the example above:

 

Upgrading Example. For example, if you maintain a Silver membership in year 1 while earning Rewards, you may use Rewards earned to pay for an upgraded Gold membership for the following year. After deducting the value of the Reward from the cost of a Gold membership, you will pay for any difference between the Gold membership and Silver membership. With a $2,300 Wise Rewards™ balance, you would cover much of the cost of an upgraded Gold membership. J

 

Extending Membership Example. For example, if you maintain a Silver membership for a calendar year and you earn $2,300 Wise Rewards™, you may redeem Rewards to cover nearly all of the membership dues for a subsequent, consecutive calendar year.

 

 

Example 2: $45,000 Spend. If you participate in Wise Rewards™ for a full calendar year and submit your claim at the end of the year, claiming:

 

Spend

·     $10,000 spent at 20% partners, 

·     $20,000 spent at 10% businesses, and 

·     $15,000 spent at 5% businesses, with proper evidence of each, you would receive Wise Rewards™ of:

Earn

·     $2,000 for the 20% Partners spend (no limit on earnings at 20% Partners);

·     $1,000 for the 10% businesses spend (maximum of $1,000 per year); and 

·     $500 for the 5% businesses spend (the maximum of $500 per year). 

 

For a total of $3,500 in Wise Rewards™.

 

Using the $3,500 Wise Rewards™ in the example above:

 

Upgrading Example. For example, if you maintain an annual Silver membership in year 1 while earning Rewards, you may use Rewards earned to pay for an upgraded Gold membership for the following year. After deducting the value of the Reward from the cost of a Gold membership, you will pay for any difference between the Gold membership and Silver membership. With a $3,500 Wise Rewards™ balance, you would get a free year of Gold membership. J

 

Extending Membership Example. For example, if you maintain a Silver membership for a calendar year and you earn $3,500 Wise Rewards™, you may redeem Rewards to cover the membership dues for a subsequent, consecutive calendar year.

 

Unused Wise Rewards™

Any unused Wise Rewards™ balance expires and will be canceled ninety (90) days after Reward issuance. Rewards have no cash value and are not eligible for cash-back.
