- Epinions
- Dooyoo
Reward websites use affiliate networks (for eg. Commission Junction to track the transactions of users using third party cookies.
There are various business models used and therefore sites differ in the service and value offered to the consumer. For example Quidco operate a co-operative model whereby users are offered 100% of the commission the website receives from retailers etc in exchange for a £5 annual fee deducted from earned cashback.
In contrast, sites like rpoints operate a more traditional model whereby 50% of the revenue generated from purchases of goods and services through retailers is taken by rpoints in commission. This often means that sites like rpoints offer almost half the value of alternative sites.
