**Cashback Rewards is a new online shopping mall which lets shoppers choose how 
much of their cashback or commission to donate to charity.**

Cashback Rewards offers shoppers the chance to shop online with leading retailers
and earn some of the commission that the site generates from these sales. Shoppers
can then choose to donate some or all of this cashback commission to charity.

There is no charge to the charity or the shopper for sharing this cashback as a 
donation. Indeed, shoppers are asked if they wish to make the donation via Gift 
Aid, boosting its value. In addition the site owners add 10% to each donation made
through the site.

Cashback Rewards gives between 50% and 95% of the participating merchants’ commission
payment to the customer. The site’s owners say that amounts of cashback generated“
will vary from a few pence for doing a search on a search engine to £100+ with some
retailers”.

Charities interested in benefiting from this cashback can contact the site now in
the run-up to its projected launch on 1 October 2006. Cashback Rewards say that “
members active at this time should be receiving their first payout in time for Christmas.”

When the site goes live, charities will be able to register using the Charity Registration
Page, which will have to be completed by an official charity representative.

Charities will be able to view their own account, keeping track of all donations
made to the charity, as well as who made the donation (unless the member wishes 
to donate anonymously), and their Gift Aid declaration if they made one. Charities
will be able to print the latter directly from the account.

Participating charities will be givne their own web page on the shopping site which
they can edit and keep up to date via an online control panel.

Cashback Rewards asks that participating charities include a link on their site 
to the shopping site, which would make sense anyway as part of the scheme’s promotion
to supporters.
