Get Rewarded for Staying Focused: Nationwide’s Cool New Driving Program

Here’s something we can all agree on… avoiding distractions while driving is a good thing. But now, you can actually get rewarded for it! Nationwide’s new Focused Driving Rewards program gives you points (and even gift cards!) just for keeping your eyes on the road and off your phone.

The best part? You don’t even need to have Nationwide insurance to join. Yep, anyone can participate. It’s totally free, and your insurance rates aren’t affected at all.

Here’s how it works: you download the Nationwide mobile app and enroll in the Focused Driving Rewards program. The app automatically tracks your trips and looks for signs of distracted driving. Things like picking up your phone, tapping the screen, or making handheld calls. Every couple of weeks, you’ll get a “score” based on how focused your driving has been. The better your score, the more points you earn, which you can trade in for e-gift cards from popular retailers.

It’s a pretty fun way to build better driving habits and maybe earn a few bucks along the way. For younger drivers (under 30), there’s even more incentive: they can earn up to $60 every six months just for driving safely. Parents with teen drivers might especially like this one! It’s a simple, no-pressure way to encourage safer habits behind the wheel.

And again, just to repeat the cool part, you don’t have to be a Nationwide customer. The program is open to anyone who wants to give it a try. It’s not insurance, just a free rewards program that helps you stay accountable (and distraction-free) while you drive.

If you’re someone who occasionally sneaks a glance at your phone at red lights, this might be the perfect nudge to break that habit. After all, who doesn’t like earning gift cards for something you’re supposed to be doing anyway… driving safely?
