If you find yourself at a place that is not registered you can add the place into the program. Doing so requires the address of the restaurant so that it can be located via GPS as thats how lists of nearby restaurants relative to you are generated.
The place I went to for breakfast this morning was called the Country Deli. On my way out, after realizing that it was not listed in the program, I grabbed a business card so that on my way home (I was not driving) I could add the place before I forgot to check in there. I do so, and am instantly awarded 11 points for this being my first check in and for adding the restaurant to the program. Later tonight I pick up a gas card which turns out to take 10 cents off every gallon up to 20 gallons per pump at Sunocos (side note - pretty cool card).
About 10 minutes later I see the card face down in another room. Pretty cool - we must have two. Picking it up, I realize that the back looks different and flip it over to find the Country Deli card from earlier. I am about to hand it to my dad thinking - this is a pretty cool business card - very study, like -- oh. I then read it a bit closer than the address line and realize it says, quite plainly, Gift Card. Woops.
Now I am pretty sure these cards are all empty and only have value/become activated when you purchase them. This being a small almost mom and pop breakfast store - who knows - maybe they come preloaded. Either way, apparently I swiped a gift card and had no clue.
I know, I know. I am as smooth as Neil Cafferty. Maybe even more so as I even fooled myself.
