How Phelan VIP works
Phelan VIP is a points program. You earn points when you eat at Pinchers or any other Phelan Family Brands restaurant, and once you reach 500 points, the program gives you a $25 reward to spend on your next visit.
As Grant Phelan puts it, spend $500 with the family’s restaurants and you get a $25 certificate back. Keep going and the next 500 points earns another one.
Rewards stack
You don’t have to use a reward the moment you earn it. Rewards stack, so you can save a few and put them toward a bigger night out, like a pound of Alaskan king crab or a seafood dinner for the whole table.
One card for every Phelan Family restaurant
Points and rewards are not tied to one Pinchers. Earn them at Pinchers in Naples and use them at Pinchers in Venice, or at any of the other restaurants run by Phelan Family Brands. The program is family-wide because the restaurants are.
That covers all ten Pinchers on Florida’s Gulf Coast, from Marco Island to Wesley Chapel, and the new Pinchers on St. Armands Circle when it opens.
Pure Points is now Phelan VIP
If you joined the program as Pure Points, you’re already a member. Phelan VIP is the new name for the same program, with a refreshed look. More than 90,000 guests have signed up.
