The Spirit Card offers an easy and fast way to directly support Detroit businesses. Employers can make bulk purchases of The Spirit Card and distribute them to employees who are returning to their offices or give them as holiday gifts or include them as part of welcome packets for new and relocating employees. The digital gift cards are available to the public for purchase online with e-delivery.
