Yes, Ian is great. He did an AMA here a couple months back. Definitely a different model and further along but just thought I would mention it in case you were unfamiliar as maybe you could get some ideas from them.
yup.. this might be more focused on LATAM, since offline / cash purchases are still pretty big. So if we find a way to make it profitable, it could also onboard millions into the LN which is my ultimate purpose.

I am fascinated by the Bitcoin rewards space. It just makes so much sense to me. Rewards programs are expensive and a pain in the ass to manage. It could be very simple with Bitcoin and consumers should want rewards (sats) that go up in value.

Exactly. Most problems from rewards systems come from: Complex interoperability. Closed systems. Can't spend starbuck points in Target. Hard to manage double spend / usage of points. Hard to keep up (as a shopper) with 20 different programs. Hard to explain to the end user. Almost always worthless. Hard to transfer (in case of cash back)
All of those are fixed by btc over LN
