DealGuild Cashback
DealGuild Cashback is an interesting twist on a traditional advertising method. Effectively we cut out the middlemen, so that you, the consumer, gets paid a form of personal online discount when you shop. You can receive cold hard cash back in your pocket just for going shopping!
So what is cashback?
Merchants have large marketing budgets, which pay for newspaper ads, TV commercials and all the other ads you see around. Most merchants allocate a portion of this budget to online advertising. Usually this involves signing up to an affiliate network, which gives the merchant access to a third party transaction tracking system.
These affiliate networks then recruit websites that publish merchant ads in return for earning a percentage of any sales generated. When you, the consumer, clicks through an ad and completes a sale, this is tracked by the affiliate network system. The merchant pays a percentage of the transaction value to the network who then pays the website displaying the ad.
But with your DealGuild cashback community, the money flows back to you. You spend the money; you get the cash reward. This reward may be a percentage of the sale value (minus GST and shipping fees) or you may receive a fixed dollar amount. This varies from merchant to merchant.
How can DealGuild cashback work for me?
Now this is the simple part. All you need to do is join up which is free, and start shopping. Cashback is a way for you to sweeten your online purchases, making your usual everyday purchases just that much cheaper. It really is a no brainer when it comes to shopping online. We provide you with a few tips in our help pages to get you started.
You can earn cashback by signing up to a bank account, purchasing health insurance, grabbing a new mobile phone contract, buying white goods or shopping for your Christmas presents. There are all sorts of bargains to be had. The biggest value is when you get paid cashback on everyday items. Cashback is also great when generally shopping online
Here is an example:
A DealGuild merchant selling laptops offers a 10% cashback rate on purchases at their online store.
You login, click through the DealGuild merchant link and complete a purchase for a computer that costs you $1000 minus GST and delivery fees.
Usually within 14 days, the sale appears in your member earnings section. As you spent $1000 on the computer and the merchant offered a 10% cashback rate, your earnings for this transaction is $100. At this stage the transaction is labeled tracked.
The transaction then goes through a validation process. As soon as we receive the cashback from the merchant, you get paid your $100 reward. The entire process normally takes 2-3 months.
A few important things to keep in mind:
1. Transactions are tracked via cookies, which are set on your computer. You must ensure that your system will not block these cookies in any way. We give you tips in our help pages
2. Coupons and discount vouchers and cashback dont often mix. Merchants are usually happy to reward you one way or the other, not both. Though there are exceptions.
3. Sometimes things do go wrong. DealGuild has an enquiry process to investigate any missing or incorrect transactions
Cashback is way for consumers to find themselves even better shopping deals online. The system also allows merchants to tap into a solid base of savvy shoppers. Retailers can be happy that they are truly getting the most for their advertising dollar. Consumers can be happy they are getting a hot deal and the best value for money.
