Step 1
Set Up Your Profile
Create your Greenlight profile and choose your style, real name or anonymous avatar, to start earning local points and rewards. A little Banksy-style mystery makes the grind more fun.
How it works
Simple. Fun. Rewarding.
Greenlight is a free local rewards app where you discover nearby hotspots, complete location-based challenges, earn venue loyalty rewards, and climb neighborhood leaderboards.
How Greenlight works in five steps
- Step 2
Find Nearby Hotspots
Use location and venue filters to find nearby hotspots that match your vibe. Every spot can run its own loyalty program, with unique rewards, milestones, and perks specific to that venue.
- Step 3
Check In & Earn Points
Check in at a hotspot to earn points. You may need to stay for an extended period of time to fully light it up before points are awarded. If you leave the hotspot too early, the points will not count, and you will need to wait a few hours before trying again. Some spots may even require a secret code ;)
- Step 4
Complete Local Challenges
Join local challenges as they are fun ways to explore your city and switch up your routine. Not every challenge has a reward attached, but they all help build momentum, unlock status, and earn local bragging rights.
- Step 5
Claim Local Rewards
Redeem points for venue loyalty rewards, weekly hotspot prizes, and regional leaderboard rewards at participating local businesses. Be part of your local community and rack it up just by living your life.
Questions
Frequently asked
Yes! Greenlight is 100% free to download and use. There are no hidden fees or subscriptions.
When you arrive at a venue, open the app and tap Light Up. We use your location to verify you are there. You can light up once every 8 hours at the same venue.
Loyalty programs are tied to a specific venue and progress is based on how many times you visit that spot. They are play-at-your-own-pace progress tracks. Challenges can be tied to one specific venue or span across multiple venues, and many include a set time window depending on the challenge.
Challenges are themed goals like one of a kind venues, visit streaks, and seasonal hunts. Complete them to earn bonus rewards and badges.
Each venue sets its own rewards. When you visit enough times, you unlock a claimable reward. Show it to staff to redeem.
We are currently focused on the NY/NJ metro area, with expansion nationwide coming soon.
