Tuscaloosas Own SmartCard
Tuscaloosa’s Own SmartCard App is a free and convenient way for users to save up to 50% at their favorite local restaurants and merchants. By partnering with participating establishments, the app offers exclusive discounts and savings to users when making payments through the app.
The app continually updates its list of participating restaurants and merchants, allowing users to easily find savings opportunities near them. Users can sort through partners alphabetically, by distance, or by savings. It is important to note that restaurants have a limited amount of savings available each month, so users should regularly check the app for updated opportunities.
To use the app, users need to create an account and link their preferred credit or debit card. They can choose to add funds to their account in advance or use the "pay now" feature to fund the exact amount of their bill when paying. Users should inform cashiers that they are using the Tuscaloosa's Own SmartCard App, then enter the transaction amount in the app. Discounts will be automatically applied, and users should provide the participating merchant with the transaction number once their bill is settled.
While the app provides savings, it is important to remember that gratuity is not included. Users should show appreciation to their providers separately by tipping on the full amount of the bill. The app also ensures security for users, as all credit card data is double encrypted to protect against theft or unauthorized access.
