485:. Is there a real need for this page? Should this be the page where loyalty programs and cashback websites come together? For example, financial services and supermarket pages should obviously not be combined just because Tesco offers both of these services. However, if Tesco was to become one of the leading financial services providers, then it would seem sensible to include this information on a page about financial services. Does the online part of such loyalty schemes therefore deserve a mention on either this page (since they do not actually offer cashback) or on the reward website page (in which case I return to my point of whether or not this page is really needed).

Ipoints in the Cashback Website section(Iponts isn't even a cashback website because it returns rewards rather than actual cash). I really don't

It probably doesn't deserve a separate page, but it needed a bit of a re-write. The literature on the subject is patchy, so deserves writing up but wading through the collection of related articles suggests a bit of consolidation would not go amiss. See this as a starting point for making the whole

Loyalty program. No relation to a Reward
Website. A Reward Website is a destination site for people who want to make a small amount of money by performing some action, A loyalty program is where people buy something they were going to buy anyway, but because they are a member of a scheme, they get a

Website. Somewhere in between the two above. It could be described as a Reward Website, but there's a world of difference between someone going to a site like archerfish to earn a few pence a day for doing a click, and someone booking their holiday via a cashback site and getting 10%

I've just removed references to Quidco and
Rpoints. Naming specific sites just invites spam as well as legitimate high-ranking cashback sites who think they have equal right to be included trying to add themselve. I know because I spent months removing spam from the main

I don't really see a need for this page either. It is all already covered elsewhere and I don't see why "online shopping rewards" would be a phrase that should be covered by an encyclopaedia. If this page were just to be removed it would be no great loss.
