RewardHound is in active development. This support page covers the current product model, common wallet questions and the safest way to report an issue.
Gift-card balance
Balance-check options vary by merchant. RewardHound opens the right balance-check page and fills in your card details where supported. If the balance doesn’t update automatically, simply enter the amount in the pop-up keypad.
EASY BALANCE CHECKS
Use saved cards offline
Cards already saved to the device are designed to stay available at the store even without cellular service. You will still need internet for a fresh balance check or any online merchant page.
CARD READY OFFLINE
Buy / Reload
When a supported purchase or reload route is enabled, RewardHound can connect you to the retailer or authorized provider. Direct in-app purchase, reload and wallet delivery only appear where that integration is actually live.
WHERE SUPPORTED
Send a Gift
The recipient gets a simple RewardHound invite. If they already have the app, they can open it. If they do not, the invite gives them a clear Get RewardHound option before they claim the gift.
PREVIEW RECIPIENT PAGE
Family Sharing
Choose one eligible card or reward, choose the family member who should have access, and keep the rest of your wallet private. Sharing can be turned off later.
SELECTED ACCESS
Rewards
Reward sharing, pooling and transfers follow each loyalty program's own verified rules. Unknown programs stay private while their rules are reviewed.
PROGRAM-BY-PROGRAM
Tickets
Saved passes stay easy to find. Tickets with live or rotating barcodes open from the original issuer, such as Ticketmaster or AXS, so the ticket stays valid.
READY WHEN NEEDED
Quick answers
What happens if I have no service at the store?
If the card is already saved on the device, RewardHound is designed to let you open the saved card and show its barcode or number without cellular service. A fresh balance check still needs internet.
What does someone see when I send them a gift?
They see a simple “You got a gift” invite. If RewardHound is installed, they can open the app. If not, they get a clear Get RewardHound option. The usable gift is claimed inside the app rather than exposed in a text or email.
How does Family Sharing work?
You choose the specific eligible card or reward you want to share and the family member who should have access. Your other wallet items stay private, and sharing can be turned off later.
How do I check a balance?
Balance-check options vary by merchant. RewardHound opens the right balance-check page and fills in your card details where supported. If the balance doesn’t update automatically, simply enter the amount in the pop-up keypad. Some merchants require their own website, app, phone service or verification step. Automatic updates and autofill are not available for every card.
Can I buy a gift card through RewardHound?
Only where a supported purchase route is enabled. In some cases RewardHound may send you to the retailer or authorized provider for checkout. Direct purchase and wallet delivery are shown only when that integration is actually available.
Does RewardHound process my payment?
Not always. A retailer or authorized provider may handle checkout and payment while RewardHound manages the wallet experience. The exact flow depends on the merchant and the integration that is enabled.
Why can’t I share a reward program?
Either the program is verified personal-only, or RewardHound has not yet verified its sharing/pooling rules. The app keeps it private until the rule is programmed and shipped in an update.
Why does my Ticketmaster or AXS ticket open another app/site?
Those issuers use live or rotating ticket credentials. RewardHound intentionally sends you to the original issuer instead of copying a credential that may become invalid.
Can support change my gift-card balance?
No. RewardHound should reflect retailer/provider value, not manufacture it. Support can help diagnose the check or routing problem without changing the underlying stored value.
How do I request another retailer or rewards program?
Email the program or merchant name to team@rewardhound.ca. Do not include your card number, PIN or account password.
