Cardlytics: Leader in terms of network
first mover advantage,
Cartera: more
Freemonee: Last to market
Unlike Cardlytics, which has the first mover advantage and partner with the most bank in the U.S, FreeMonee still have a place in the card linked offer market because of innovation.
First of all, by using Gift underwriting engine, FreeMonee could determine the customized gift to customer, encouraging an unplanned visit and further generate revenue to merchandise.
Secondly, the shorter period of cash back incentives customers to use offers provided by Freemonee more
Finally, with quick expiration feature of offer, not only urging customers to use it but also enable merchandise to track the efficiency of promotion
But still, there are some new strategy that Freemonee could adopt it
Partnership with big bank and diversified merchants to be able to access more customers
Open innovation among partners and clients in order to solicit new ideas that may boost the redemption of coupon
Gamification feature, such as the more offers customers redeem, the more possibility to get secret offers
In the card linked offer industry,
Because of the high tech feature, S-curve might be shorter than other s curve in other industries
Card linked offer is gradually replace daily deal such as Groupon& living social
What’s the next curve? Would it be possible that payment system such as Paypal combine with card linked offer?
Standards war
Now, different companies have different Refund time/ reward time/ deal type/ and ways customers redeem the offer
Open innovation with not only merchandises but also end users could put them in more competitive positions
It’s hard for card linked offer industry to has a standard platform that has all consumers information as banks prohibit those companies from moving data from server for safety consideration. How could companies integrate resource to provide customize offer and to generate better profit?

generating $115 billion in additional revenue. Banking institutions see this as a winning program to build customer loyalty while increasing card activity. Card-linked offers are quickly becoming a must-have program for forward-thinking financial institutions.
