Why use Google & Apple Wallet at Hill City?

Digital wallets have afforded us many advantages over the physical wallets of old, and these benefits really come in handy when shopping at Apparel brands like Hill City. While some people still prefer to carry an actual wallet for things like cash and coins, there are just some things that digital wallets do better. Since Hill City is known for maintaining several touchpoints with its customers via loyalty offers, gift cards, and multiple payment methods, you'll want to have one central place to access and keep track of everything. That's where your digital wallet comes in.

How to Add Hill City to Google & Apple Wallet

  • 1. Find Hill City on SoLoyal.

  • 2. Create a new Bright Rewards account, or link your existing account.

  • 3. When the linking process is complete tap 'Add to Google or Apple Wallet.'

  • 4. Bright Rewards will appear in your wallet under SoLoyal.

  • 5. Your loyalty balance will be updated automatically when you shop at Hill City.

Adding Items

Any dynamic information that needs to be updated frequently requires a fully-integrated digital solution, and communications from Hill City are no exception. Things like your loyalty program status, gift card balances, or tailored offers all seem to fit just a little bit better in your digital wallet. Hill City usually communicates this info via email or their own app and website, but those distribution channels are limited by how far we customers are willing to go in order to use them. Here are some examples where using a digital wallet at Hill City gives you a distinct advantage over a physical wallet.

Adding Bright Rewards Loyalty Program Info

Hill City may send you loyalty account updates via email, but this is usually sorted into the 'promotions' folder along with more marketing-oriented communications from other Apparel brands. Since your email service provider decides what content goes into which folder, there's a good chance you'll miss these important messages from Bright Rewards. Adding your loyalty account to your Google or Apple Wallet means you'll always get important account notifications directly on your phone. You'll never miss them because no filters are applied. This means you'll take full advantage of the Bright Rewards benefits like 2% back in rewards, Birthday Deals & Gifts, Surprise & Delight Rewards, Special Event Access, and Gifts & Prizes.

In addition to being sent via email, information about your Bright Rewards account can also be found in the Hill City app. However, with around half of all shopping being done on desktop, a large number of consumers won't even be prompted to install the Hill City app. And even if they are invited to do so, only around 40% of them will complete the installation. From there, an even smaller subset will open the app and begin using it to access their loyalty information. In contrast, Google or Apple Wallet comes pre-installed on your phone so there's no cumbersome app installation process to contend with. Your Bright Rewards account will be easily accessible at all times.

You'll have access to real-time information about your points, rewards, and the status levels that are offered by Bright Rewards. You can see how close you are to earning your 2% back in rewards reward and how to ensure you're maximizing all your benefits. Bright Rewards has 1 recurring benefits and 1 rewards that continually keep you engaged as a loyalty member. Once you add your account to your digital wallet, you'll always be kept up to date about when these rewards are coming and when they expire.

Adding Hill City Gift Cards

You can also purchase and store Hill City gift cards within Google & Apple Wallet. We're not just talking about barcodes that you can scan when shopping in-store. We're talking about real-time gift card balance updates that continually change as you make purchases. Currently, in order to find your Hill City gift card balance you'd have to head over to the Hill City website and look for their gift card balance checker tool. That's the same process for other brands such as Helm Boots, Copeland's, and Van Heusen. Once you find the gift card checker, you're required to enter your card's serial number and pin number in order to see your balance. Obviously this is a process that you'd be required to do over and over again in order to stay on top of your gift card balance. But integrating your Hill City gift card with your Google & Apple Wallet means you just have to link the card once. After that, you'll be notified of your balance through your digital wallet's native push notifications. SoLoyal makes it really easy to do this as part of the account linking process.

Adding Special Offers from Hill City

Hill City sends special offers as often as once every 14 days, which is typical for Apparel brands. But that makes it hard to stay on top of a revolving door of promotions, especially when they're disseminated via various channels from Hill City. These include SMS, email, and notifications from the Hill City app. When you add Hill City to your digital wallet you'll see your offers right there on your phone. And when offers change, you'll be updated immediately. This ensures you'll never miss an offer, whether it's exclusively for Bright Rewards members or just a general promotion for all customers.

How to Use Google & Apple Pay at ​​Hill City

Even when brands don't explicitly accept Google & Apple pay, you can usually configure your digital wallet's NFC technology in order to add a credit card and use it to pay. Hill City may allow you to use your native credit card via Google or Apple wallet as long as it is properly configured. Here's how to add your credit card to both wallet types in order to pay at Hill City. Contact Hill City support [email protected] with any issues.
