Collect Points
All locations are assigned a point value, which can be collected when you are within GPS range of a location and have a connection to the internet. Pushing the “Collect Points” button while physically visiting a location will add the location’s points to your point total. The more locations you explore, the more points you collect. A free Iconic Fernie account is necessary in order to collect points and redeem rewards. You can track your point total on Your Account page.

Redeem Rewards
Once you collect enough points, those points can be redeemed for various rewards at the Iconic Fernie Rewards locations, which are indicated in the app. Hitting the “Redeem Rewards” button while physically at a Rewards location will bring up a keypad for the location’s staff to enter a code to deduct points from your point total in exchange for your reward. You must have an internet connection in order to redeem points.

Share with Friends
Found a place you want to let others know about? The Share button on each location’s page allows you to share the profile photo of that place via your social media channels.
