InternetCashback.co.uk to provide cashback incentives to consumers booking online with MyTravel

  • Now has 88 travel companies offering consumers cashback schemes including BA, Thompson Holidays, Thomas Cook and now MyTravel

Manchester, UK - 20 March, 2007 - InternetCashback.co.uk, one of the UK's fastest growing consumer shopping Websites, has announced a new affiliation agreement with leading UK-based package holiday provider MyTravel. The deal allows online shoppers to earn cashback rewards for booking holidays, flights or hotel breaks with MyTravel via InternetCashback.co.uk. Internet Cashback now partners 88 other travel companies to offer cash back incentives to consumers, including British Airways, Thompson Holidays and Thomas Cook.

The announcement follows news that UK travel websites received record-breaking numbers of hits during the first two months of 2007. Some tour operators are seeing the number of visitors to their websites more than double, and are increasingly turning to third-party retail websites to maximise their online presence.

Shoppers receive a £10 cash reward as soon as they sign up on InternetCashback.co.uk, and then 3.5 per cent cashback on every hotel booked through MyTravel, 1.5 per cent on holiday packages, and 1 per cent on flight only deals. "MyTravel is always looking to use new and exciting ways for its customers to make transactions," commented Vicki McQuillan, affiliate manager at MyTravel. "Innovative consumer shopping websites like InternetCashback.co.uk are playing an increasing role in the retail sector, and provide companies such as ours with an opportunity to extend our online customer base. Internet Cashback has an edge over its competitors - the great thing about it is the huge amount of choice that it offers consumers."

"We are delighted to add such a reputable name to the Internet Cashback travel section," added Chris Nolan, project manager at InternetCashback.co.uk. "The internet is now playing a bigger role than ever in the travel and tourism industry, with an increasing number of customer transactions carried out online. This new deal ensures MyTravel achieves maximum online presence as a retailer, whilst offering customers a chance to earn money for booking holidays. When you consider how much the average person spends on holidays throughout the year - flights, hotels, weekend breaks - the cashback incentive becomes huge."

InternetCashback.co.uk has partnerships with over 600 retailers across a range of sectors, and has recently announced a number of deals with many of the UK's leading charity organisations.

How InternetCashback.co.uk works:
InternetCashback.co.uk offers new members £10 cash as soon as they register. Customers can then view and make purchases on a partner's website via the Internet Cashback site. Once the transaction is complete, Resource Team, creator of the site, automatically detects the transaction and credits the member's account with a percentage of the product’s value - sometimes as much as 50 per cent. The service also includes a referral scheme which allows members to earn additional funds - for life - whenever their friends use the service.
