Help & Support

Getting started

How do I add a charity to RewardsTick?

Charities are added by scanning their QR code — using the in-app scanner (tap Scan on the home screen) or by tapping a shared charity link. There's currently no way to search or browse for charities in the app; scanning is the way to find one.

Why can't I search for charities?

This keeps things simple and ensures every charity you see has been shared with you or found in person. Search and browse will be added for other business types in a future update.

Donations

How do I make a donation?

From a charity's profile, tap Donate. Choose an amount, pay by card or with your RewardsTick points, and optionally add Gift Aid if you're a UK taxpayer.

What is Gift Aid, and should I add it?

Gift Aid lets UK charities reclaim tax on your donation from HMRC at no extra cost to you, if you're a UK taxpayer. You declare it once per charity — after that it's applied automatically to future donations to the same charity, and you can review or change it anytime from Account → Gift Aid declarations.

Can I get a receipt for my donation?

Yes — every completed donation shows a receipt immediately, and your full donation history is available from your Wallet.

My donation isn't showing as complete — what's happening?

Occasionally a donation takes a little longer to confirm. If it doesn't resolve, contact us at contactuk@rewardstick.com with your donation reference number (shown on the receipt).

Points & rewards

How do I earn points?

Scan your RewardsTick QR code at a participating store's till, or have the store scan your code, to earn points on your purchase.

How do I use my points?

From your Wallet, tap Redeem — convert points into money off at a participating store, or donate them directly to a charity you've favourited.

Can I convert points to cash?

No — points have no cash value and can only be redeemed within the app as described above.

Events

How do I book a charity event?

From a charity's profile, tap Events to see what's on. Free events confirm immediately; paid events take you through a quick checkout. Either way you get a real ticket with a QR code for entry.

Account & payments

Is my card information safe?

Yes. We never see or store your full card details — they're handled by a secure, PCI-DSS-compliant payment processor, and we only keep a reference so you can reuse a saved card.

How do I update my details?

Go to Account → Profile details to update your name, photo, or contact information.

How do I delete my account?

Contact us at contactuk@rewardstick.com to request account deletion. Some donation/Gift Aid records may need to be retained for a period as required by HMRC, even after your account is closed.
