History of Online shoppping rewards
May 10, 2008
History
shopping Rewards portals exist in most major markets, most notably in the US, Canada, UK, and Australia. The original loyalty program was started in 1896 by Sperry & Hutchinson called Green Stamps which has been digitized into the new S&H greenpoints.com. In the early 1900s, Carlson Marketing owned a company called Gold Stamps and that has similarly been rebranded as GoldPoints.com. One of the most successful programs that currently exist is called AirMiles out of Canada and, like the old Green/Gold Stamps programs, it includes everyday spending in supermarkets. 1997 saw the launch of the DHS Club where members can collect rewards when shopping online and offline around the world.
