Going out with friends sounds simple, but in reality it’s always a mess. Someone doesn’t know where to go, someone forgets their wallet, someone ends up paying more than everyone else, and by the end of the night you’re Venmo-requesting people who “will send it later.” It’s not a huge problem, but it’s annoying enough that it happens every single time.

That’s why MyTreat surprised me.

At first, I thought it was just another rewards thing — scan a code, get points, whatever. But once a few of the places we already go to started using it, it actually changed how we hang out. You tap when you walk in, and you’re already earning entries and points just for being there. No pressure to buy anything, no awkward sign-ups.

Then there’s the wallet part. When you do use MyTreat to pay, it’s honestly way smoother than splitting bills with cards. One person pays, the rest confirm on their phones, and it’s done. No math. No chasing people down later. And you get way more rewards for paying than just checking in, which actually makes it worth using.

The best part is the treats. Some places offer small perks if you pay with MyTreat — like a free drink or a bonus item — and it feels like you’re getting something extra for doing what you were already going to do. It’s not flashy, but it’s enough to make you want to come back.

MyTreat doesn’t try to force you to spend money. It just makes going out easier, cleaner, and more rewarding. And when something fits naturally into how you already live, that’s when it actually sticks.
