Introducing the New Zions Bank Mobile Rewards App

Access Development and Zions Bank are proud to announce the release of the Zions Cash Rewards mobile app, a portable savings resource for Zions Bank Visa credit and debit cardholders. Consumers will find both local and national deals in categories like dining, shopping, hotel, golf, automotive, and more.

The app offers two different types of merchant discounts: “show your phone” coupons and card-linked offers. “Show your phone” mobile coupons are redeemed by presenting your mobile phone at the point of sale, and cash back rewards are earned by making a qualifying transaction with a Zions Bank Visa card at a participating merchant. The cash back reward is then automatically deposited back into the user’s account.

With the help of this app, consumers can easily and conveniently access savings of up to 50% to merchants they shop at every day. These merchants can be found by category, GPS location, maps, recent searches, or a user-designated favorites list.

This new Zions Cash Rewards mobile app comes at a time of huge growth for the mobile coupon industry and is, as a result, of great value. Over 53% of consumers who own a smartphone or tablet plan to use those devices in their holiday shopping.

Just as intriguing is this statistic that Javelin Strategies & Research unearthed: mobile coupons were listed by consumers as the benefit most likely to sway them to use a smartphone-based payment system. Mobile wallet developers may want to take notice.

We want to give a big thank you to Juniper Research and Javelin Strategy & Research for allowing us to use their statistics in our press release.

Brands We Love: Braza Grill

Buffer

As we’ve mentioned a few times, we love the merchants on our discount programs. We asked some of our employees to chime in on some of their favorites. Today, Director of Partnership Marketing Doug Jentzsch chimes in with a meaty tribute to Utah’s own Braza Grill. Read more of Doug’s writing and thoughts at his personal blog.

There was a time when you could only experience an authentic Brazilian steakhouse, or churrascaria, when visiting cities like Los Angeles, Dallas or Miami – or by traveling to Brazil of course. More recently these steakhouses have become far more common. The greater Salt Lake City area now has four different Brazilian-style steakhouses; of these Braza Grill in Murray is what I would consider the best and most authentic in Utah.

Braza Grill offers a variety of meats, cooked over an open flame. This includes top sirloin, tenderloin, sausage, chicken and the ever popular turkey wrapped in bacon. To bring out the flavor, meats are seasoned simply with rock salt. Meat servers use large skewers to carry the meat around to each table slicing off the perfect portion for each customer. A salad bar in the middle of the restaurant features traditional rice and beans, a staple of the Brazilian diet, along with potato, pasta and green salads.

For those feeling a bit daring, ask your server to try the chicken hearts. There is no additional charge and chicken hearts are prepared upon request. Squeeze a little fresh lime over the top and you’ll be surprised how good they are.

The friendly staff, the atmosphere and food at Braza Grill takes me back to the time I spent in Brazil. It’s a unique dining experience where you’re guaranteed not to leave hungry. Braza Grill is a featured restaurant in the Zions Cash Rewards program. Zions Visa cardholders can earn a $6 reward with minimum purchase of $20.
