How It Works

Purpose

A $25.00 annual membership card provides the cardholder with significant discount offers from local merchants. In the course of a calendar year, the member can save thousands of dollars on their everyday purchases while supporting their community in the process.

Enrollment

Membership in iDeal$ is obtained in one of two ways:

1. Purchasing a $25.00 annual membership card from a participating not-for-profit group or organization (non-profits, schools, churches, or corporate "Adopt A Cause" fundraisers).

NOTE: If you belong to an charitable organization that is classified as “not-for-profit” and needing to raise money, please have the person in charge contact us to discuss setting up an account.

2. Purchasing a $25.00 annual membership card on this website and identifying which charitable organization is to receive the $10.00 donation generated by the sale of the personal &/or gift membership card(s).

Once you have purchased your membership card you will be instructed how to register and activate your card on our website, www.ideals-card.com. Your membership card will be in the mail within 7-10 business days.

Using Your Membership Card

Once your card is received you may use it at any of the participating merchant locations for the remainder of the calendar year. Cards are valid from January 1st to December 31st for the year printed on your membership card.

All participating merchant information is located on this website at (http://ideals-card.com/offers). Each merchant has a printable version about their business, which includes their address, phone number, merchant’s number, details of their discount offer, and a map to their location(s).

Once you have you have accessed the “Merchant” site you may search for offers via the general headings provided (Dining, Entertainment, Lodging, Retail, Services, and Travel). Searches may be done by clicking on the name of the merchant, or via the category of the offer being provided.

You must have your current membership card to redeem an offer. Once at the desired merchant’s place of business you may redeem their offer by presenting your iDeal$ membership card when paying for your purchase. The merchant will remove their Merchant # from the back side of your card, indicating the offer for that card has been redeemed, and then return the card to you.

Notes:

1. When using your membership card at an establishment that typically involves tipping the person that served you (i.e. restaurant) please be sure to tip based on the total bill BEFORE the discount is applied.

2. Holidays are excluded for most dining & entertainment type offers.em>
