How do I post an offer to the site and what rewards do i get?
If you find a good deal, offer or bargain on a merchant's website that you want to share with your fellow imutual members, you should use our offer form at https://www.imutual.co.uk/newoffer
Once you have submitted the completed form, a discussion post with details of the offer will be automatically created (under your name) in the Offers & Bargains forum. Your offer may also be featured on other parts of the website and in email newsletters.
You receive rewards in the form of shares as follows:
1) On a given day, for each offer you post you receive one share. This is subject to a daily maximum of 1 share per unique merchant and 3 shares in total. The reward is added to your account the following day with a status of "Awarded".
If your offer is for an imutual partner where we offer shares for purchases, we can track how many transactions have been generated via your offer link and reward you as follows:
2) For each member who clicks through your offer link and generates a transaction (e.g. purchase) for which they receive a reward of shares, we will credit you with the same number of shares!. The reward is added to your statement as Pending as soon as we track the transaction, and the status will change to Awarded once the original transaction has been awarded to the member concerned.
To explain (2) above, consider the following example:
e.g. You post a link highlighting a great car insurance offer. It is from an imutual partner where members can earn £50 cashback and 500 shares for taking out a policy. 10 members click through your link and take out a policy, earning a total of 5000 shares. We add 5000 shares to your account!
In time, we might review the number of shares awarded but as we're only just launching this feature we think the shares calculation ought to be simple and generous ;)
