OVIEDO – Sometimes it’s hard to keep track of all the flyers, coupons, frequent shopper cards and gift cards that you use to get the best deal. Now, you can fit all of these money-savers into one slot of your wallet – in the new MyCFLCard.

The card acts as a gift card, discount card, frequent shopper rewards card and cash-back rewards card at businesses throughout Central Florida. But this is more than just a savings card.

Each card has a serial number, so consumers can go to MyCFLCard.com, register their card, and then track everything linked to their cards.

Want to see which local restaurant will give you the best deal before going out on Friday night? Log in to the Web site and see what coupons are available or where you’ve earned the most cash-back points. Or, if you’ve loaded money onto the card, you can see your remaining balance.

With all the options that the MyCFLCard offers, there comes a price. The card costs consumers $19.95, a price that co-founder Tracy Squadrito said can be recouped through discounts and rewards in about two months.

What makes the MyCFLCard unique is not just the benefits it holds for consumers, but also the benefits that participating businesses will receive.

It costs a business $45 a month to sign up. That fee includes being on the Web site database, being featured on the MyCFLCard, and receiving the software to track how people are using the cards at the business.

Squadrito said the tracking feature is what makes this card so much more appealing to businesses than the Hometown Savings Card, which she shut down at the beginning of this year.

“With the Hometown Savings card, the residents liked it [but] the businesses didn’t because they couldn’t track anything; there’s no record at the end of the day.”

With this card, however, businesses not only can see exactly how and when consumers are using the card, but they can also log onto MyCFLCard.com anytime to change what discounts or offers they want to make available.

Businesses can also donate products or services for monthly giveaways, which consumers are entered to win whenever they swipe their cards.

“For a little bit of money, everybody’s winning together and [businesses] get big dollar advertising,” Squadrito said.

The card is also a fundraising opportunity; part of why the cards cost $19.95 is so that schools, organizations, churches and businesses can sell the cards as fundraisers and make $5 for each card sold. The fundraiser is similar to selling Entertainment Books, except the card only supports local businesses.

“People always tell me, ‘We want to stay local. We want to help someone who has a small business here in Oviedo,’ ” said Debbie Norton, co-founder of MyCFLCard.

Kathy Melecio, owner of Oviedo Jewelry and Pawn, said the card’s options and tracking software make it an attractive advertising choice for her business.

“I like it that it’s something that can be tracked,” Melecio said. “If you do an ad – if you don’t have a coupon or some way of tracking it – you have no idea if you’re getting something out of it or not. The card will be able to track that.”

Melecio said that she would probably offer the gift card option, as well as frequent shopper rewards. “There are a lot of different options for the businesses, so I think that’s advantageous,” she said. “I like the gift card option because everybody’s using gift cards now.

“(The) frequent shopper would be good because I see so many people in and out of here and I forget, but if they got that card and we could see that they’re frequent, then they could get a discount that someone else wouldn’t get.”

The Web site is up and running, and while Squadrito and Norton are still in the early stages of recruiting businesses, the database will open soon so consumers can start to see what local businesses will be featured on the card.

Consumers can start buying the MyCFLCard in early January.

Those interested in buying the card or fundraising with the card, or businesses looking to participate, can go to MyCFLCard.com or e-mail info@MyCFL-Card.com. MYCFLCard will also be hiring sales representatives; contact info@-MyCFLCard.com.
