iPunchStore is a “virtual loyalty card punch” App that a store uses to wirelessly provide credits (iPunches) to customers when they make purchases and then wirelessly redeem those iPunches as the customer is given a loyalty reward (e.g. a free product) for a certain number of purchases. Each store can establish its own credit/reward system. The customer uses a single corresponding App, iPunchCard (screenshot 5), to wirelessly receive, record and present for redemption the iPunches from multiple stores each with its own branded Account Name. These two Apps, iPunchCard and iPunch Store, replace the multiple paper loyalty-cards that customers carry while at the same time making it easy and convenient for stores to initiate standard or complex loyalty card programs.

A store’s customer’s iPhone, running the iPunchCard App (screenshot 5), wirelessly transmits a request for iPunches, together with a photo of the customer, (screenshot 1) to a store-owned device (iPhone or iPad) that is running this iPunchStore App. A store employee taps the number of iPunches to award to this customer and the customer wirelessly receives and records that number of iPunches on their iPhone. After accumulating a certain number of iPunches a customer can tap a ‘Redeem iPunches’ button and a redeem request will be wirelessly transmitted to a nearby store device together with a photo of the customer (screenshot 2) and the record of all unredeemed iPunches (screenshot 3) associated with the Active Store Account of the store’s device. The store can chose to redeem any number of iPunches and that number of iPunches will be automatically removed from the customer’s records on their iPhone.

Learning how to use iPunchStore is made easy by a ‘Simulate customer’ function that simulates each type of potential customer interaction.
