Stars have no value outside of the UMO Rewards™ program and cannot be redeemed for cash. Each Star may only be turned into a product or redeemed for service on a transit system with a participating Transit Agency.

2.1 Account Registration

You must have an existing account in the UMO App™. If you do not have an account, you must first set up an account with the UMO App™ for UMO Rewards™.

2.2 Join the UMO Rewards™ Program

Once you have registered for and established an UMO App™ account, you may join UMO Rewards™. This is independent of any other loyalty programs that you may have previously opted into through other Transit Agency apps.

2.3 Link Existing Loyalty Accounts

If you have one or more existing loyalty accounts with other Transit Agencies, you cannot link the existing accounts to a new Transit Agency account.

2.4 Your Profile

You may view your account profile on the UMO App™. The account profile includes contact information such as your name, e-mail address, street address, phone number, and demographic information. You may edit your profile and view your Star account balance and recent transactions. However, your e-mail address cannot be edited. You must create a new account if you want to change your email address.

2.5 Opt out of UMO Rewards™

You may opt out of UMO Rewards™ at any time. Once your opt out is complete, you will no longer be eligible for the Star rewards, and you will forfeit all accumulated Stars. Once Stars are forfeited, Stars cannot be reinstated, but you can earn new Stars by opting into UMO Rewards™ again.

3. Loyalty Reward Management

3.1 Star Reward Options

There are four ways you can earn Stars while using UMO App™depending on offer availability:

  • Viewing video ads
  • Responding to ads
  • Receiving Stars awarded by a Transit Agency
  • Accepting a third party’s card-linked offer

You will be credited with Stars to your UMO Rewards™ account if you take one of the above actions.

For viewing video ads and responding to ads, you must stay logged in to your UMO Rewards™ account and fulfill the reward criteria in order to be credited with Stars.

You will see ads whether or not you have joined UMO Rewards™ but you can gain valuable Stars if you do join.

For Stars awarded by a Transit Agency or purchases using a linked payment card with participating merchants as part of the available card-linked offers, it is not necessary to be logged into your Transit Agency account to receive credit with Stars.

Redemption of Stars requires that you be logged into your UMO Rewards™ account.

3.1.1 Video Ad View

Each time you complete a viewing of a video ad, you will be awarded Stars. You can watch a video more than one time but will only be awarded with Stars once for each qualified view of the same video ad within each session. If you complete a qualified view of more than one video ad, you will be awarded with Stars for the corresponding number of unique video ads that you watch. The number of Stars awarded varies depending on the length of the video. You will be able to see the number of Stars you will get for watching each video.

Each time a video ad plays continuously up to 30 seconds or for the full duration of the ad of less than 30 seconds, it will be counted as a view.

3.1.2 Ad Response

Each time you complete a response to an ad offer, you will be awarded with Stars. An Advertiser will specify a dollar amount to award in Stars for each ad response from you, such as answering a survey, joining a contest, signing up for newsletters, or purchasing an item.

The number of Stars awarded for each qualified engagement action varies depending on the type of ad response. You will be able to see the number of Stars you will get for each ad response.

3.1.3 Stars Awarded Directly by Transit Agency

Transit Agencies may award Stars to you for various activities and allow you to redeem Stars for transit tickets or other transit services offered by that particular Transit Agency. The number of Stars awarded for each activity varies at Transit Agency’s own discretion. You will be able to see the number of Stars you will get for taking each activity offered by Transit Agency.

3.1.4 Third Party Card-linked Offer Acceptance

Financial services providers may award Stars to you if you agree to link your card issued by a financial service provider with your UMO Rewards™ account. Additionally, you may also be awarded with Stars for using your card to pay for other qualified expenses defined by the financial services provider. The number of Stars awarded for each activity varies at the financial services provider’s own discretion. You will be able to see the number of Stars you will get for accepting the card-linked offer.

3.2 Star Reward Value

Each Star awarded to you has a value of US$0.005. However, the Stars have no cash surrender value.

3.3 Star Redemption Price

Star Redemption Price is the dollar value ratio that UMO Rewards™ uses to calculate the number of Stars required for a redemption option that a loyalty user selects. The Stars Redemption Price has a value at $0.005 per Star applied for all Stars redemption activities.

3.4 Star Transfer

Stars cannot be transferred from one UMO Rewards™ account to another UMO Rewards™ account.

3.5 Star Expiration

You must remain active in UMO Rewards™ to retain Stars you accumulate. If your UMO Rewards™ account is inactive for twelve (12) consecutive months, you will forfeit all accumulated Stars. Once Stars are forfeited, the Stars cannot be reinstated, but you can earn new Stars, unless your account has been deactivated.

An account is in inactive status when you do not participate in any loyalty point earning and redemption with your UMO Rewards™ account. Periods of impacted force majeure events that directly or indirectly prevent you from participating in UMO Rewards™ will not be counted toward the inactive account status duration. UMO Rewards™ will reasonably determine the length of the period impacted by such events. UMO Rewards™ and our authorized loyalty partners will make necessary adjustments to the UMO Rewards™ account status in such cases.

3.6 Star Reward and Redemption Process

3.6.1. Awarding of Star Reward

After you complete a qualified activity, you will be awarded with a set number of Stars in your Star account. Your Star account balance will be updated accordingly.

3.6.2. Star Redemption Procedure

Stars may be redeemed for products or services such as a mobile pass, which will be credited to your Transit Agency Account. The availability of transit card types varies by Transit Agency. You may redeem Stars upon logging into your transit account on UMO App™. You may NOT purchase or redeem Stars for cash.

You may see your past Star transaction history, including Star transaction type, Star transaction date, Star transaction amount, Star transaction balance, transit redemption value, and transit redemption currency.

3.7 Termination of UMO Rewards™ in a Specific Region

If UMO Rewards™ is terminated in a specific region, UMO Rewards™ will notify you of the loyalty program termination in your region by digital or written communications means. You will then have 30 days since receipt of the termination notification to redeem Stars for transit value from the transit agencies within that region.
