Two big launches built to bring people through the door, plus a round of upgrades that save your team real time. Here's everything new in Bandwango this month, and what's landing before the end of the year.

Polls, Upgraded: Manage Polls in the Pass Builder and Keep Awards Fair

If your passes use Polls, running them just got a lot simpler. Polls now live inside the Pass Builder, and a new voting rule keeps multi-category award programs fair.

Check-Ins You Can Trust: Pair GPS With a PIN, QR Code or Quiz

When rewards are on the line, you want to know people are really there. You can now combine check-in methods so a check-in only counts when a passholder is on-site and proves it.

Availability, Your Way: Specific Dates and Recurring Blackouts

Set exactly when an activity can be redeemed. You can now make an activity available only on the dates you choose, block out recurring days and times with a single rule, or combine both.

Mobile Pass Ads: Sell Sponsorships Right Inside Your Pass

Place sponsor banners on your passes and places, schedule them, and see exactly how they perform. The new Ads section in Experience Builder is fully self-service and included for every partner.

Giveaway Passes: Turn a Check-In Into a Chance to Win

Feature a different local business every day, week or month, and reward the passholders who show up. Giveaway Passes are a new pass type you can build and run entirely on your own in Experience Builder.
