Business Enrollment Rooted Locally eGift Card

HOW IT WORKS

The Rooted Locally eGift Card (brought to you by Yiftee) is the first e-gift card redeemable exclusively in Beaver County. All of our favorite BC restaurants, retailers and service providers in one place.  The Rooted Locally Gift Card Program is FREE to active Chamber members in good standing.  Non-members must pay $90 (if joins by June 30, 2021) or $100 annually beginning July 1, 2021.

Cards can be purchased online (contactless) and sent to the recipient via EMAIL or TEXT. The recipient presents the e-card on their phone at time of purchase and merchants key in as a Mastercard CNP (card not present) transaction.
