There’s been a lot of buzz around the new Oklahoma series, and that excitement has clearly carried over into our merchant network. July saw huge leaps for the Goldback movement, including the addition of 190 new merchants and the kick-off of our Vernal, Utah GILD chapter!

Vernal GILD Kick-Off
We officially kicked off our second GILD chapter at the Freedom Mercantile in Vernal, Utah! The Freedom Mercantile is a local marketplace where businesses actively accept and trade Goldbacks. We’ve really enjoyed getting to know this community of Goldback enthusiasts, and we’re excited to grow with them through the GILD program!
