Wah! SmartDeals — Customer FAQ

Sign up with your phone number — we send a one-time passcode (OTP) to verify it — then choose your neighbourhood community and add a few profile details. You must be at least 18 to register.

You can view some deal listings as a guest. Claiming coupons, joining communities, leaving reviews, and using Support require an account.

No. Each phone number can be used for only one account and one role — customer or vendor, not both.

You must be at least 18 to register and hold an account. A parent or guardian manages use for younger household members — see our Family and Age Suitability Policy.

Go to Profile → Delete my account. Deletion is reviewed and includes a 30-day grace period during which you can cancel. See the Account Deletion Policy.

You join one neighbourhood community based on your location at sign-up. Other communities (such as a PTA, school, or group) require an invite code. You can belong to more than one community at the same time.

You can switch to another neighbourhood in your same ZIP code from the Neighbourhood screen. Moving to a neighbourhood in a different ZIP requires a change request that Wah! reviews, and a cooldown period may apply between changes.

You can't remove yourself from an invite-code community in the app. Only a Wah! administrator can remove you — you can ask through your community contact.

No. Once you leave or are removed from a community, you may not rejoin it.

Open the deal and tap to claim it. You'll receive a coupon with a scannable QR code and a short numeric backup code for manual entry.

Each coupon has its own redemption window, shown when you claim it (for example 24–48 hours), which can be shorter than the deal itself. When the window ends the coupon expires automatically and can't be extended or reinstated, and its spot may be offered to other members.

Show the coupon's QR code to the vendor, who scans it. For retail deals you pay the vendor directly — usually in cash — at the time of redemption.

For retail deals, one coupon per customer per deal.

Retail coupons can't be cancelled once claimed — an unused coupon simply expires at the end of its redemption window. If a future deal type allows cancellation, any limits will be shown in-app.

If a deal is sold out or not yet open, you can ask to be notified. A waitlist entry is a notification request only — it doesn't reserve a coupon or guarantee one will become available.

Wah! is a marketplace, not the seller. Honoring a deal is the vendor's responsibility, so raise it with the vendor first. We can help with support escalation but don't guarantee outcomes.

For retail deals, no — you pay the vendor directly, usually in cash. Wah! never holds your payment and does not store full card numbers.

The vendor. Refunds and service disputes are between you and the vendor under the deal terms.

No. Vendors are independent businesses solely responsible for their goods, services, pricing, and fulfilment.

After you redeem a coupon, you can leave a review while the deal is still live or paused. Any rating from 1 to 5 stars qualifies, and you can attach photos.

No — reviews are permanent once submitted, so write them carefully. If you delete your account, your reviews stay but are anonymized ("Deleted User"). Your review, star rating, photos, display name, and profile photo are shown publicly.

Wah Rewards is a loyalty program — not cashback or currency. You earn 100 points (shown for convenience as a $1 in-app value) for an eligible in-app review. Points have no cash value, can't be exchanged for or withdrawn as cash, and are redeemable only inside the app toward upcoming service-deal booking fees. Points do not expire.

Not yet. Points and credits accumulate now, and spending will be enabled in a later phase. When enabled, any minimums or limits will be shown in-app.

No. After you leave an in-app review, we may invite you to also share your experience on the vendor's Google page — that's entirely optional and never compensated. Wah Rewards points are earned only for the in-app review, whether or not you post on Google.

Virtual promotional credits. They have no cash value, can't be withdrawn, and are not a bank deposit or stored value.

Not currently. We may introduce an expiration period in the future, with notice and as the law allows.

It depends on the deal type. For retail deals (the type offered today), the vendor sees the name on your coupon at redemption plus aggregate totals — not your contact details. For service or consultation deals, if and when offered, the vendor would receive your name, contact details, and service address to deliver the work. See Privacy Policy Section 3.
