A dispensary run adds up fast. The good news is that most of the savings happen before you walk in and after you walk out: comparing deals ahead of time, timing your visit, and getting paid for the receipt afterward. Here is how to stack all three.
1. Compare menus and deals before you go
Apps and sites like Weedmaps and Leafly show dispensary menus, prices and current deals near you. Checking two or three stores before you leave is the easiest way to avoid paying full price for something that is on sale down the street. Look at the price per gram rather than the sticker price, since package sizes vary from store to store.
2. Time your visit
- Daily specials. Many dispensaries rotate a discount by day, such as a flower day or an edibles day.
- Happy hours. Some stores discount early mornings or late evenings when traffic is slow.
- Holiday sales. 4/20 and the day before Thanksgiving are two of the biggest sale days of the year.
- First-visit discounts. New customers often get a percentage off their first order, so it pays to try a new store when you would be buying anyway.
3. Join the store loyalty program
Most dispensaries run their own points program. It only rewards you at that one store or chain, but if you shop there regularly it is free money. Sign up at the counter or on the store website.
4. Get paid for the receipt with HighRewards
Store programs only pay you at one chain. HighRewards pays you at any dispensary, on top of whatever the store already gives you. You earn points for sharing your receipt data, then cash them out for gift cards.
- Check in at any dispensary with the app for 100 points.
- Upload your receipt to earn points. HighRewards partner stores pay bonus points, with 10,000+ points available at some.
- Cash out for gift cards from Amazon, Walmart, Target and more. 1,000 points = $1.
- Earn between visits by watching short videos, playing games and inviting friends.
HighRewards does not sell anything and nothing is bought in the app. It is free, available in every US state, and for adults 21 and over. New members can use promo code HighRewards at sign-up to get $5 once they earn their first 1,000 points. See the HighRewards promo code page for details.
Stacking it all together
Here is what a single trip looks like when you use every layer: you find a store with a flower deal on a deals app, go on its daily special, earn store loyalty points at checkout, then check in and upload the same receipt to HighRewards. The store discount, the store points and the HighRewards points all come from one purchase.
Frequently asked questions
Can I use HighRewards with Weedmaps deals?
Yes. Weedmaps helps you find a store and a deal; HighRewards pays you for the receipt afterward. They work independently, so you can use both on the same purchase.
Does HighRewards work at every dispensary?
Yes. You can check in and upload receipts at any dispensary. Partner stores, shown on the map in the app, pay bonus points, and participating liquor stores count too.
How much are HighRewards points worth?
1,000 points = $1 in gift cards. A $10 Amazon gift card costs 10,000 points.
Is HighRewards free?
Yes. The app is free to download and use, and there is nothing to buy.
