SMS Communications

Text-to-join SMS opt-in.

Some businesses on PointMintz also offer a QR-code / text-to-join program on toll-free 866-682-7234 — a separate, immediate enrollment path that doesn't require booking. This is not the opt-in flow used on the booking form; see How PointMintz handles SMS opt-in and consent for that.

This page documents a separate, optional SMS enrollment program some businesses on PointMintz offer: joining by scanning a QR code or texting a keyword, without booking a visit. It is independent of the booking-form opt-in flow described on How PointMintz handles SMS opt-in and consent.

  • Explicit consent
  • STOP & HELP supported
  • Marketing included in the keyword
  • No third-party sharing

Opt-in by scanning a QR code or texting a keyword

Some businesses display a sign or QR code in their location that lets a customer join without booking a visit at all. This is a separate, equally explicit opt-in path — not a substitute for, or a lesser version of, the booking-form consent flow.

  1. The business displays a sign or QR code with a keyword (for example, JOIN) and their PointMintz SMS number.
  2. Customer scans the QR code (which opens a pre-filled text message) or manually texts the keyword themselves to the business's number.
  3. PointMintz replies immediately: “You're on the VIP list. First deal drops soon. STOP to opt out, HELP for help. Msg & data rates may apply.”
  4. Unlike the booking form, this single text enrolls the customer in both transactional reminders and marketing & promotions at once — there is no separate, unchecked-by-default marketing step here. The keyword itself is the explicit marketing consent.
  5. This channel only creates a new enrollment for phone numbers not already known to the business; an existing customer's number is not re-enrolled or duplicated.

Preview only — illustrative, not a live messaging channel.

“Text JOIN to 866-682-7234” — Customer texts JOIN (or scans the QR code, which does this automatically) and is opted in to both transactional and marketing SMS immediately. Msg & data rates may apply. Reply STOP to opt out, HELP for help.

Note: STOP, HELP, and START work exactly the same way for customers enrolled through this channel as they do for booking-form customers. The keyword shown is chosen per-business and can never be a carrier-compliance word like STOP, HELP, or START, so scanning the sign can never accidentally opt a customer out.

Sample message

  • “You're on the VIP list. First deal drops soon. STOP to opt out, HELP for help. Msg & data rates may apply.”
