Shopping.com's Beta Rewards Program
Posted: Friday, November 19, 2010
Epinions members may have received an email regarding Shopping.com's Beta Rewards Program. We have launched this Beta feature on Shopping.com in order to test out a new feature that will mimic how income share works today on Epinions.
As stated, this is a Beta test so not everyone may have received an invitation. Category Leads, Top Reviewers, members that attended the Epinions Meet & Greets, and other top-performing members were included in this invitation. The invitation was sent out to the email addresses linked to your Shopping.com account. If you haven't logged into your Shopping.com account, now would be a good time to make sure your login works and that your email addresses are updated. The beta test is expected to run for the next 3-6 months before it is open to the rest of the community.
We highly encourage you to participate and provide your honest feedback. It will help us to constructively build out a better program for our community. Members participating in the program will earn rewards for all reviews and guides written directly on the Shopping.com platform.
Check out our FAQ for all the details about the BETA Rewards Program.
