Answer Financial®, one of the largest auto and home insurance agencies in the U.S., announced today the launch of Streetwise Drivers ClubTM, the free mobile app that lets smart drivers earn rewards for beating driving challenges. Rewards points are redeemable for deals on popular brands, gift cards and restaurants through the Streetwise RewardsTM program. Points can also be used to bid on daily auctions and enter sweepstakes for high-value prizes. New app users get 10,000 rewards points simply for signing up.
“Streetwise is like a Fitbit
for drivers, providing feedback after each trip to help people better
understand the way they drive,” said Rob Slingerland, Answer Financial CEO.
“Most Americans already think they are excellent drivers. The Streetwise app
gives them a chance to prove it and earn rewards along the way.”
The Streetwise app leverages
the native GPS technology in smartphones to capture driving characteristics
such as distance, speed, and how hard someone is braking. This information is
provided after each trip to paint a picture of the person’s driving behavior
and share those insights to help them become smarter, safer drivers on the
road. Streetwise works automatically in the background on the phone, so there
is no risk of driver distraction.
“We’ve developed a driving app
that values smart driving and allows people to earn rewards for it,” said
Slingerland. “In addition to the rewards program, the Streetwise app leverages
Answer’s insurance comparison platform to provide auto insurance savings based
on your driving behavior.”
