Hi all :)
I have been looking into starting a cashback site for New Zealanders, mainly after seeing the popularity of the sites in Australia. I believe it would be possible, and I was looking for feedback from Cheapies members before going ahead with anything.
Main Questions:
- Would you use a cashback when shopping online?
- What brands do you think should be available, as a NZ site?
- Anything else? ideas, tips, feedback etc.
Cheers.
We have discussed the idea in the past, but it was not something we had the hours required to manage.
Keep in mind that there will be a lot of support required, there would be a huge amount of transaction based issues that you'd need to provide support on and assist with.
In saying that, if you are able to get a bunch of decent retailers on board, then I'd happily sign up and use it if needed. I know Air NZ and AA have close-to-cashback systems offering points/discounts instead of cash, so giving a better rate/experience than them would be a minimum.
Maybe an interesting one to try and get on board could be Trademe. I know Ebay do a lot of cashback overseas, so maybe pitch it that way to them, but good luck getting into contact with anyone who is even wanting to discuss it. The Warehouse might be another one. Plenty of retailers that could be worth contacting, but good luck getting in contact with the right person.
If the idea gets off the ground, happy to help with testing as well, and I'm sure others here would be too.
