## What is Tuscaloosas Own SmartCard?

Tuscaloosa’s Own SmartCard App is a free and easy way to save up to 50% at your favorite restaurants and merchants.
HOW IT WORKS: Tuscaloosa’s Own has partnered with participating local restaurants and merchants to offer you exclusive savings when you pay using your Tuscaloosa's Own SmartCard App.
PARTICIPATING RESTAURANTS AND MERCHANTS: We’re constantly updating our participating merchants and restaurants within the Tuscaloosa's Own SmartCard App. Sort through our partners alphabetically, by distance, or savings. Hurry – restaurants only provide a limited amount of savings for customers to use each month. Keep checking the app to see updated savings opportunities near you.
PAY NOW OR ADD FUNDS TO YOUR SMARTCARD ACCOUNT: After creating your account, link the credit or debit card you want to use. You can add funds to your account in advance or simply use the “pay now” feature to fund the exact amount of your bill when you pay your check. Be sure to tell your cashier you’re using the Tuscaloosa's Own SmartCard App, then launch the app and enter the exact transaction amount. Savings will be automatically applied! Provide the participating merchant with your transaction number once you’ve settled your tab.
Please note: Gratuity is not included, please show your appreciation and tip your provider separately on the full amount of the bill.
Security: All credit card data is double encrypted – so you don’t need to worry about your information being stolen!
