The mistakes

What Landscaping Companies Get Wrong

These aren't obvious. Nobody in the landscaping companies industry talks about points optimization. Here's what we see over and over.

01

Fueling the entire fleet on a debit card

Landscaping companies burn through fuel. mowers, trucks, trailers. Gas stations earn 2x on a gas and office bonus card or up to 4x on the right category card if gas is your top category. On $3K/month in fuel, the right card earns 72,000 to 144,000 extra points per year.

The math

$3K/month fuel at 3x avg = 108K pts/year vs 36K at 1x.

02

SiteOne and nursery orders on a generic card

Landscape supply distributors typically code as specialty or wholesale. The catch-all card earns 2x on everything. That doubles your return on materials versus a 1x card.

The math

$6K/month materials on the right catch-all card = 144K pts/year at 2x.

03

Not separating marketing spend

Google Ads and Nextdoor advertising earn 3x on the right business card. Even small monthly ad budgets compound over a year.

The math

$1K/month ads at 3x = 36K pts/year.

04

Equipment purchases on high-interest financing instead of a 0% card

Major equipment purchases from John Deere or STIHL dealers can go on a business card with 0% intro APR. earning 2x points while financing interest-free for 12 months. Better than dealer financing at 8 to 15%.

The math

$10K equipment on the right catch-all card = 20K pts + 0% APR vs $800 to $1,500 in dealer interest.

How it works

Your vendors. Our routing.

Every vendor sends a merchant category code (MCC) when you swipe. That code determines your multiplier. The same $5,000 payment earns 5,000 points on the wrong card or 20,000 on the right one. We match every vendor to its highest-earning card.

MCC
Vendor Code Analysis

We've mapped how your vendors code with card networks. Verified, not guessed.

CAP
Spending Cap Tracking

Every bonus category has annual caps. We shift routing before you hit a ceiling and drop to 1x.

CPP
Transfer Partner Math

Earning is half. We route redemptions to partners where points are worth 2x to 5x more than cash.

Your card stack, routing rules, and redemption strategy are built specifically for your vendors and spend. See what yours looks like.
