Can You Earn Points Just for Visiting a Dispensary? How Check-Ins Work

What if your rewards started adding up the moment you walked through the door? With the HighRewards app, they can. Checking in at a dispensary is one of the easiest ways to earn points, and you do not need to spend a penny to do it. Here is everything you need to know about turning simple store visits into gift cards.

• Check in at any dispensary with the HighRewards app and earn points just for showing up.
• Stack check-ins with receipt uploads, games, videos and friend invites to grow your balance faster.
• Redeem your points for gift cards from Amazon, Starbucks and more.

What is a dispensary check-in?

A check-in is exactly what it sounds like. When you visit a dispensary, you open the HighRewards app and check in to let it know you are there. The app rewards you with points for the visit itself, no purchase required. It is the lowest effort way to earn, and it works alongside everything else you already do in the app.

How do check-ins work in the HighRewards app?

Open the app when you arrive at the store, find the check-in option and tap it. That is the whole process. The app also shows you nearby stores that want your visit, so you can see which shops are actively welcoming HighRewards members. On top of that, you will spot brands offering bonus points, which is a handy way to decide what to pick up while you are there.

Can I check in at any dispensary?

Yes. HighRewards works at any dispensary, not just a single chain or a short list of partners. It also works at participating liquor stores, so your points keep building across more of your regular shopping. If you want the full picture of how visits turn into points, our guide on how to earn rewards every time you shop at a dispensary walks through it step by step.

How can I earn more points on the same visit?

Check-ins are just the start. After you shop, upload your receipt in the app for more points. Between visits, you can play games, watch videos and complete other activities to keep earning from your sofa. The biggest single boost is inviting friends, which earns you 5,000 points for each friend who joins. Stack a check-in, a receipt upload and a referral and one shopping trip suddenly works a lot harder for you.

What can I redeem my check-in points for?

Points redeem for gift cards, including Amazon, Starbucks and more. Since check-ins cost you nothing, every gift card you claim this way is effectively free money for visiting stores you were going to anyway. See the full rundown in what you can redeem cannabis reward points for.
