The points program for Egypt's shops

Everything you buy
pays you back

Shop at any store on Pointy and the cashier adds cashback points to your mobile number. Every point is worth 10 piasters, and you spend them as a discount at the same shop.

  • No cards, just your mobile number
  • Redeem with a WhatsApp code or a QR
  • All your points from every shop in one place

How do you earn?

Three steps, and nothing extra to do while you shop.

  1. 1

    Shop at a Pointy store

    Find shops in the app by category, by service like "Delivery" or "Open 24 hours", or by what's closest to you.

  2. 2

    Give the cashier your number

    Or show your membership QR. The points land in your account instantly, and you get a notification.

  3. 3

    Spend them as a discount

    At the same shop or its branches. The cashier sends you a code on WhatsApp, or you show a QR from the app.

🔎

Ask for a product

Can't find a medicine? Snap a photo, pick "Pharmacies", and the pharmacies that have it reply with their price and address.

📍

Closest to you

See the shops around you by distance, with ratings from people who actually bought there.

🎁

Offers just for you

The shops you love send you their offers, and you can turn offers off any time from your account.

⏳

Know when every point expires

Details for every batch of points: which shop it came from, where you can spend it, and its last day.

For shop owners

A complete loyalty program that brings your customers back, with no cards and no devices.

A simple cashier app

Three buttons: add points, redeem with a code, scan a QR. Works on any phone, tablet or the shop's computer.

You set the rules

The cashback rate, each cashier's limit in pounds, and large transactions wait for your approval. Points can be spent at your shop only or across all your branches.

Permissions for every employee

A cashier only sees what you allow: adding points, redeeming, returns, reports, replying to customers.

WhatsApp campaigns

Send an offer or a discount to your customers with filters: those who haven't visited in a month, or those holding points. See the count and the price before you order.

New customers looking for you

Customers find you by category, service and distance, and send you requests for the products they're looking for.

A network of shops in your trade

Short on an item, or have surplus stock? Post a request that reaches shops like yours, then talk and trade.

Frequently asked questions

How much is a point worth?

A point is worth 10 piasters. So 100 points = EGP 10 off.

Where can I spend my points?

At the shop that gave you the points, or its branches, depending on how the shop has set it up. The app shows exactly where each batch of points can be spent.

Do points expire?

Yes. Each batch has a validity period set by the shop (usually a year), and the app reminds you before it runs out.

Do I have to download the app?

No. The cashier can add points to your number even if you haven't signed up, and they'll be waiting for you when you register with that number. You can also use Pointy in your browser at app.point-y.com.

I own a shop. What exactly do I pay?

An annual subscription for each branch; a branch added mid-year pays only for the rest of that year. The value of the points you give is charged to you, and comes back to you when the customer spends them at your shop. Featured and campaigns are optional.
