Hawkeye Rewards is a mobile-based loyalty platform created and developed by Muv-U Corp in cooperation with the UI. The Hawkeye Rewards mobile app is available free to consumers so they can earn and redeem points on-site at dozens of merchant locations who have already signed onto the platform, and also take advantage of special promotions and programs to be offered by the UI Athletics Department to support its 24 women’s and men’s programs.

“Hawkeye Rewards provides tremendous benefits to consumers who join this innovative loyalty program for free by simply downloading the Hawkeye Rewards mobile app. It also provides a unique and exclusive opportunity for participating merchants, a list that is growing daily,” said Rick Klatt, the UI’s associate athletics director for external relations.

Hawkeye Rewards is easy to join. Consumers can simply download the free Hawkeye Rewards mobile app onto their smartphones from the iTunes or Android apps store and start shopping. Points will be earned and redeemed on-site at participating merchants by simply scanning the in-app electronic membership card.

“We are excited that the Hawkeye Rewards mobile app is now publicly available on the iTunes and Android app stores, and invite consumers to download the app so they can start saving on every day purchases while supporting Hawkeyes.”

Using the free Hawkeye Rewards mobile app, consumers will save money, get access to special events, and take advantage of promotions while earning and redeeming points at participating merchants’ locations. Points are accrued when consumers make purchases from participating merchants, and can be redeemed by any participating merchant regardless of where points were earned.

The first 2,000 fans to download the mobile app will receive 50 points compliments of the Iowa Hawkeyes. The UI Athletics Department will add its first set of offers within the Hawkeyes Rewards program on Thursday, Sept. 3, and will add new offers monthly.

“We’re extremely excited about the opportunity to reward our fans for attending our events or, perhaps, for playing a round of golf at our award-winning golf course, or to redeem their points for a unique Hawkeye experience,” said Klatt.
