Mobile Loyalty: Location Aware & M-Commerce Points+Cash
28 Nov 2010
Global Loyalty today announced the release of its mobile web application for the iPhone that goes well beyond competitive offerings in the loyalty sector. Not only can a members view all loyalty related information such as points balance, transaction history and tier information we also enable program managers to push location aware earn promotions and redemption offers. Significantly all promotions can now be transacted upon by a member on the mobile on a points+cash basis (including Airline tickets, accommodation, rental vehicles, digital media, merchandise and Sports/Concert/Movie tickets).
   
Our approach was to develop via mobile web rather a native application. The advantages include scalability, cross platform compatibility (rapid deployment to Android, Blackberry and now Windows Phone 7), consistent customer experience and use of open standards.
Being able to give that native application experience but served using open standards is a big win for both designers/developers and end users. The key objective was to replicate the look and user experience of a native application - the result we have delivered well exceeds these objectives.
