The RSPCA is using the buy.at online affiliate network to promote its Pet Insurance
service and generate funds, offering £15 to website owners for each policy they 
secure.
The RSPCA is joining the likes of Save the Children, Oxfam, SightSavers,
British Red Cross, Barnardo’s and World Vision by using an online affiliate network
to promote one of its fundraising activities.

This is, however, the first time a charity has used an online affiliate network 
to promote one of its commercial concerns, instead of simply encouraging people 
to make a donation. To date charities such as World Vision promoting their virtual
gift catalogue is the closest that charities have come to promoting commercial or
trading activities to online affiliates.

RSPCA Pet Insurance offers pet insurance for cats and dogs at monthly premiums that
start at £2.92 for cats and £5.41 for dogs.

RSPCA Pet Insurance is paying affiliates £15 per policy, and is offering a 30 day
cookie period. This means that website owners can still benefit from site visitors
who take up to 30 days to go ahead and sign up for the insurance policy.
