Crazy Shopper? Try Crazy Refund
I have just read ProBargainHunter’s review on Crazy Refund, one latest start-up that gives affiliation sale commission back to the customers. But this is with a twist — you get full refund the purchase price, only if you are the “lucky winner”. For example, according to this table, one out of 40 shoppers at Buy.com can get the full refund (2.5%), but one out of every 3 shoppers at Mr. Ink Man can get the full refund (33%). But then, if you have my luck, you will never get a cashback on this one…
I initially thought only Australian will set up a cashback site like Crazy Refund, as we Aussies are so much into gambling. Just take a look at how many “auction” sites we have in Australia that work on unique highest bids (which by the way, is not a bargain). Instead, the Yanks took the lead and offered this crazy cashback service to all the crazy shoppers across the Pacific.
Still, with the amount of karma I have, I think I better stick with MoneyBackCo who always gives back 100% commission from affiliated sales.
Hi Scott, thanks for the mention. I find the business idea very interesting however I find it hard to believe the list of winners published on the website. CrazyRefund has been in business for just a few months and I couldn’t find any coverage in the news or blogging yet. Something is fishy here…
It’s probably easier to believe something is messed up than to believe it works, but since I actually won a pair of shoes by shopping through them, I feel obligated to be greatful to them. I guess it will take some time for people to catch on.
