Bonus Savings Center Provides Cash-back Rebates at Hundreds of the Internet's Most Popular Merchants

NORWALK, CT, January 30, 2004 - Internet marketer webloyalty.com (http://www.webloyalty.com) announced today the new Bonus Savings Center, an online shopping rebate network available to members in their Reservation Rewards (http://www.reservationrewards.com) and Buyer Assurance (http://www.buyerassurance.com) programs. Powered through an exclusive deal with Ebates.com (http://www.ebates.com), the leading online rebate network, the Bonus Savings Center allows members to access rebates and discounts on hundreds of online merchants with the click of a mouse.

Members in the WLI ReservationRewards and WLI BuyerAssurance programs can log into their respective sites and begin accessing the Bonus Savings Center immediately. By clicking the link on the home page, members can locate online merchants and get rebates to use immediately when shopping. The rebate is automatically recorded when they click through to the merchant, and the check is automatically mailed if they make a purchase. The rebates can be as high as 25% off the purchase price. In addition, the Bonus Savings Center provides access to hard-to-find coupons and special offers that can be used at the time of purchase, meaning members can save twice on the same purchase.

"We are constantly looking for ways to increase the value of our programs for our membership base," said Rick Fernandes, CEO of webloyalty.com. "By adding a benefit like the Bonus Savings Center, we are providing another service that our members use on a daily basis, an incredibly important aspect of running a subscription-based program. We have also found that the vast majority of Internet shoppers are drawn online specifically because of the discounts available, and the Bonus Savings Center meets those exact needs."

Seamlessly integrated with their partners' web pages for an optimal user experience, webloyalty.com offers add-on, turnkey membership programs designed to give e-commerce sites an additional way to provide value to their customers. When a customer shops at a webloyalty.com partner web site, the Reservation Rewards and Buyer Assurance programs are offered after the customer has completed the transaction as a Special Award. Included in this offer are $10 cash back on a future purchase plus a 30-day free trial membership in one of the programs.

When customers join reservationrewards.com or buyerassurance.com, they are told how to immediately access the service and can take advantage of their benefits right away. And 14 days before the end of their trial period, another message reminds them that they are going to be billed monthly for the service, when the trial period is over. For convenience and as a reminder of membership, charges appear as WLI reservationrewards.com or WLI*reservationrewards.com for Reservation Rewards and WLI buyersassurance.com or WLI*buyersassurance.com for Buyers Assurance on the customer's statements. Membership comes with a satisfaction guarantee as members can cancel at anytime and request a refund of the current month's fee.

The retailer's bond with the customer is strengthened because members are given a $10 rebate to encourage future repeat purchases on their site. In addition, either program can be co-branded with the retailer's logo and graphics at their option, allowing them to offer their customers valuable programs that add value to their web experience and increase brand awareness.
