Loyalty system feature:
Boosts Google reviews
Feedback from repeat customers
Auto-email after a few visits
Turn happy guests into local promoters. With the BonusQR Maps Reviews feature, customers who leave you a Google review unlock a stamp, points, cashback or a fixed discount in their wallet pass — automatically.

The Maps Reviews flow connects your Google Business profile with your loyalty program, so every authentic review becomes a measurable reward — no spreadsheets, no manual checks.
A short scan opens your branded loyalty pass on the phone — Apple Wallet, Google Wallet or the web app.
From inside the pass, one tap sends them straight to your Google Maps listing to share their experience.
Once the review is published, BonusQR detects it and marks the reward as unlocked in the customer's pass.
A stamp is added, points credited or a discount activated — depending on which loyalty program you run.
Pick the reward mechanic that fits your business — the Maps Reviews trigger works with all of them.
With BonusQR you can reward customers for leaving a Google Maps review the same way you reward them for a purchase — with a virtual stamp, points or cashback added straight to their wallet pass. You configure the reward type and amount in the dashboard, and the customer scans a QR code in-store to claim it after publishing the review.
It is a simple, repeatable way to grow your local search ranking and bring in new visitors who discover you on Maps. Reviews stay public and credible, while your existing loyalty program — stamps, points or tiered cashback — keeps those customers coming back instead of just rating you once and leaving.
Online reviews drive local search rankings and shape buying decisions before a customer ever walks through your door. A small reward turns that trust signal into a repeatable habit.
Customers who had a positive visit are happy to leave a review — they just need a friendly nudge. A wallet reward gives them that nudge.
A steady stream of authentic, recent reviews is one of the strongest signals Google uses to rank local businesses in the map pack.
The same QR code that captures a review also enrolls the customer into your loyalty program — they leave with a pass, not just a one-off discount.
See how many reviews each location, campaign or staff member generates, and how those reviewers return over time.
The reward lives in Apple Wallet or Google Wallet. No app download, no account creation, no friction.
You reward the act of sharing feedback — not a specific star rating — so the program stays aligned with Google's review guidelines.
Maps Reviews rewards work especially well for businesses where word-of-mouth and walk-in traffic matter — every authentic review brings the next customer closer.
Maps Reviews is just one trigger in a broader loyalty toolkit. Combine it with these features to get the full picture of your customers.
