How it works
Warwick & Leamington connects local residents with independent businesses through exclusive offers, community events, and genuine local reviews.
Claiming offers
Independent businesses on the platform post exclusive offers for local residents — discounts, free items, and special deals you won't find anywhere else.
Browse offers in the app or on the website.
Tap 'Claim this offer' to generate a unique QR code. You have 30 minutes to show it to staff.
The business scans your code to redeem it. Alternatively, ask staff to enter their daily PIN if scanning isn't available.
Points are added to your account automatically on redemption.
Some offers are marked Locals only — these are reserved for Verified Local residents (see below).
Verified Local status
Verified Locals are residents with a CV postcode (Warwick, Leamington Spa, Kenilworth, and surrounding areas). Verification happens automatically when you register — just enter your postcode during sign-up.
Verified Locals get access to exclusive locals-only offers and earn the Verified Local badge on their account.
Points
You earn points every time you redeem an offer. Points are added to your account automatically — no manual steps needed.
Each offer specifies how many points it awards (typically 10 points per redemption). Check the offer details to see the points value before you claim.
Rewards and point redemption are coming soon.
Reviews and verified visits
Any signed-in resident can leave a star rating (1–5) for any business, with an optional short comment (up to 140 characters).
Verified visit — reviews from residents who have redeemed at least one offer at that business are marked with a ✓ Verified visit badge. This proves the reviewer has actually visited, making their opinion more meaningful.
How moderation works: Star ratings count immediately. Review text is checked by our team before it appears publicly. Once your first review text is approved, future comments will appear straight away.
We reserve the right to remove review text or entire reviews that are abusive, defamatory, or submitted in bad faith.
Events and local news
Any signed-in resident can submit community events and local news articles for publication.
Submit your event or article via the website.
Our editors review submissions and approve or decline within a short time.
Approved content appears on the events and news pages for the whole community.
Business owners posting events for their own business are approved automatically.
Local fundraisers
Verified Locals can post a link to their own fundraiser — JustGiving, GoFundMe, or similar — along with a photo, brief description, and the town it's for, so the whole community can find local fundraising efforts in one place.
Post your fundraiser with a title, description, photo, town, and a clear end date.
Our team reviews it before it goes live, the same as events and news.
Once approved, it appears on the fundraisers board until the end date passes.
Fundraisers need a defined end date — if you're raising money on an ongoing basis with no end in sight, share it as a news story instead.
For businesses
Local independent businesses can claim their listing on the directory and start posting exclusive offers.
Find your business in the directory.
Click 'Claim this listing' and submit a short verification message.
Our team verifies ownership and links the listing to your account.
Once claimed, you can manage your profile, post offers, and view your daily redemption PIN from the dashboard.
