Anyone besides gmelas and other new users have any experience with this company (no offense to gmelas - he/she only has 2 posts, ... want to be sure this is a legit place, and the post wasn't just a self-promo)

Looks interesting, but the reward points seem off to me. TIA.

deleting name of site to avoid anyone actually patronizing this guy's place.



Looks like a scam to me...I find it hard to believe that all the retailers listed offer 4%+ in referral fees for buying gift cards. I wouldn't be surprised if they start off actually fulfilling free gift cards until they have a sizable customer base, at which point they would shut down and keep all the referral fees for themselves.


Yeah, looking at the rewards points for instance, you get 100 for a $100 itunes card, but if you bought 4 $25 cards, you'd get 200 rewards points ... the whole thing seems odd to me. I couldn't find reviews on google.

Looks like Cash Back, only not as good.

You buy a card, they get a commission, you get points instead of cash.

When you get enough points, they use some of the commission money you made them to buy a gift card (and presumably get commissioned on that sale too) & then give you the card.

That is my hypothesis anyway.


Wow, so gmelas WAS a troll. And bold (or clueless), to use his own name.
