Keychain - Rewards you can actually use

by
Loyalty points are broken — every brand has its own, and most go unused. Keychain fixes this: tap your phone at local spots and get rewards straight to Venmo. No points. No waiting. Already live in NYC.

We’re two engineers who got fed up with loyalty points that feel… pointless.

Every store, café, and airline has its own app — and most of those “rewards” just collect dust.

So we built Keychain — a new kind of check-in reward system that pays real money, not fake points.

Here’s how it works:

  • Tap your phone on a Keychain tag at any partner spot in NYC

  • Earn instant rewards you can actually use (yes, even cash out to Venmo)

  • No app downloads, no catch

It’s already live in 50+ spots across NYC — and invite-only for now.

Why merchants love it:

Local spots spend $10K–$50K on paid marketing and get… empty impressions.

We help them drive real visits with rewards users actually care about.
