Organised by Marketing Gloucester, Residents’ Weekend is the perfect opportunity for you to explore, experience and enjoy your city with loads of special offers to entice you over the popular three-day event. We are also introducing the GL Card...
What is the GL Card?
A loyalty card, mobile App and website has been launched for local workers and residents, giving you opportunity to earn rewards and receive exclusive offers & deals from shops, eateries and businesses. The scheme encourages those living and working in Gloucester to support the city centre.
How does it work?
Anyone can use the GL Card, it’s easy:
• Pick up your free GL Card and register it online via the web or mobile.
• Just scan your card or mobile phone app at your local Touchpoint kiosk to find offers nearby.
• When you see a deal you want, just touch it to print out a voucher.
• Some retailers will use the GL Card as a loyalty card - show it to them when making a purchase.
Where can I get GL Card?
You can pick up your GL Card from the Tourist Information
Centre and Gloucester Quays Customer Reception Desk.
Download the app!
The GL Card app makes it easy to check out nearby deals and places to go, when you’re on the move. It is available on Apple and Android devices, just search for GL Card in the Apple App Store or Google Play.
How do I find participating retailers?
You can find retailers and offers by visiting a Touchpoint kiosk, visiting the GL Card website or by searching the GL Card App.
Who operates the scheme?
Conceived and managed by Marketing Gloucester, the GL Card is a partnership with Gloucestershire Live and Rewarding Visits, who devised the technology and have run the scheme in Sutton Coldfield and Mansfield. The project is also supported by Eastgate Shopping Centre, Gloucester Quays, and King’s Walk Shopping Centre.
Can I still use my Residents’ Card?
Yes you can during Residents’ Weekend, however we encaourage you upgrade to the GL Card or download the GL Card App as soon as possible so you can enjoy the latest offers straight away.
