The I Buy NEO Community Card program is a collaboration of citizens, businesses, non-profits, schools, chambers and community development corporations focused on positive and lasting change in Northeast Ohio.

HOW DOES IT WORK?
Every time you use your I Buy NEO Card at a participating merchant, a portion of each transaction is:

1. returned to you as a cash reward
2. donated to a local community based non-profit or school of your choice

 
We call this portion of the transaction a "Community Rebate" and it turns "consumers" into "savers and givers".

I Buy NEO is a winning program for all parties involved: a win for the business owner who makes the sale and creates customer loyalty, a win for the community card holder who retains cash for future purchases and a win for the non-profit organizations and schools that receives an unsolicited, unrestricted donation.

The I Buy NEO Card is not used for payment. You pay for your purchase with any payment form accepted by the business. The community rebate amount you receive for transactions will vary from business to business.  You can find out who is participating and what their Community Rebate is in the business directory.

Cash rewards are recorded in your own account, and you will receive monthly e-statements detailing your total earned cash rebates as well as the total donations you generated for selected non-profits in your community.

Your community has everything to gain when you shop locally and share locally with the I Buy NEO Program.
