Once you're signed in, your Wallet is home base. Everything you need is one tap away.
All your active loyalty cards live here. Scroll through them to see your stamp progress at each business — how many you have, and how many until your next reward.
Tap Explore or visit the Search page to discover new places, or tap "Near me" to see what's close by. Search by name, area (e.g. "Somerset West"), or type of business (e.g. "Coffee").
Tap the bell icon to see broadcasts and special offers from businesses you've joined. Vendors use this to share promotions with their loyalty members.
Stamping takes less than three seconds. Here's all you need to do.
Each Lekka business keeps a stamp code at the till, printed or on a screen, and shows it to you once you've paid. There's nothing for you to show them: you scan their code.
Open your phone's camera and point it at the code, or tap "Scan a QR Code" in Lekka. Either way works.
You'll be taken to a confirmation page. If it's your first visit, you'll join that business's programme and receive your first stamp straight away. Returning members just get the stamp — done.
Left your phone at home? Give the staff your name or the email address on your Lekka account and they can add your stamp manually from their dashboard. Your progress is never lost.
Your cards update in real time the moment you scan. You'll always know exactly where you stand.
Each card shows a grid with your current progress — for example, 4 of 10 stamps collected. It updates in real time the moment you scan.
The card shows exactly what you're working towards — for example, "Free Flat White" — so you always know what's waiting when your card is full.
Scroll down in your wallet to see a full log of every stamp you've earned and every reward you've claimed, across all the businesses you've joined.
When your card is full, the reward is yours. No voucher codes, no paper slips — just tap, show, and enjoy.
When your card is full, a "Claim My Reward" button appears automatically on your card. You'll see it as soon as the final stamp is collected. Some businesses give you a set time to claim; if so, a "Claim by" date shows on the card and we'll remind you before it passes.
When you're at the counter and ready to use your reward, tap the button. You don't need to ask staff first — just tap and show.
A full-screen confirmation appears with your reward details and a timestamp. Show this screen to the staff — that's all they need to see.
Your card resets automatically, and any extra stamps you collected carry over. No voucher codes, no paper slips. Start earning toward your next reward straight away.
Know a café, salon or takeaway that should be on Lekka? Nominate them and when they join, you’ll collect stamps there too. There’s no limit to how many you can nominate.
It's on your Rewards page, and on your home and profile pages too. Search for the business by name and confirm it's the right one.
Once it's nominated, share the link with the owner or your friends on WhatsApp or anywhere else. We'll invite the business to Lekka.
When the business joins Lekka, you can start collecting stamps there from day one. There's no limit to how many businesses you can nominate. It's done for the love of your local spots: there's no cash or voucher reward for nominating.
Lekka is POPIA compliant. From your Profile page you can update your details, manage notification preferences, and download or delete your data at any time.
Quick answers to what customers ask most.
Yes — always. Lekka is completely free for customers. You collect stamps, earn rewards, and pay nothing.
Give the staff your name or the email address on your Lekka account and they can find you and add your stamp manually from their dashboard. Your progress is never lost.
Absolutely. You can join as many loyalty programmes as you like. Each business gets its own card in your wallet, and they all live in one place.
First, check that you're signed into the correct account. If the stamp still isn't showing, ask the staff to add it manually from their Customers page. If the issue persists, reach out via our Help Centre.
No — stamps are tied to your account and cannot be transferred. Each person needs their own Lekka account to collect stamps.
