PerkClub
vs Stamp Cards

Stop hoping. Start earning.

Stamp cards reward customers after they've spent. Memberships earn you revenue before the customer walks in. The difference compounds month after month.

Why memberships beat stamp cards

A stamp card is a promise the business makes to the customer: visit ten times, get the eleventh free. The customer takes the deal, the business takes the lost margin on the eleventh visit, and nothing about the relationship is recurring.

A membership flips that. The customer pays the business upfront, every month, in exchange for a guaranteed set of perks. The business knows exactly how much they'll earn before the month begins. The customer visits more often because they've already paid — and that habit is what drives a small business forward.

Predictable monthly revenue

Members pay you on the 1st whether they visited last week or not. Stamp cards earn nothing until the customer walks in.

Habit over hope

Members come in because they've already paid — the membership creates a reason to use it. Stamp cards rely on the customer remembering they have one.

Builds business value

Recurring revenue is the single biggest factor in business valuation. A stamp card is a marketing expense; a membership is a balance-sheet asset.

The questions independent businesses ask most when they make the move.

PerkClub is a membership platform for independent businesses. It lets your customers subscribe to your business with a monthly membership. They get exclusive perks, you get predictable recurring revenue — paid out to your bank account every week via Stripe.
No. That's one of the biggest differences. Customers scan your QR code, sign up in 30 seconds on a web page, and save their membership pass to Apple Wallet or Google Wallet. It lives right alongside their bank cards — no app to download.
Loyalty schemes reward spending after the fact with points or stamps. PerkClub is a membership where customers pay you upfront every month in exchange for guaranteed perks. You earn revenue before they even walk through the door.
PerkClub is based in London. We bill in GBP, our team is based here, and our merchants are independent UK businesses. International support is on the roadmap.
Independent UK businesses that rely on regular footfall like coffee shops, barbers, salons, bakeries, florists, gyms, delis, juice bars, pet groomers, and ice cream shops. If your customers visit repeatedly and would value a membership, PerkClub fits.
No. PerkClub gives independent businesses the same kind of subscription product chains like Pret offer — under your own brand, with your own pricing, your own perks. We're the platform; the membership belongs to your shop.
PerkClub was founded in the United Kingdom in 2025. The platform was built specifically for the independent UK high street and the team works directly with merchants on the operational details.
