Partnership will deliver innovative CPG funded, SKU-level, grocery cash-back offers on credit/debit card reward programs and open a brand new, shopper-marketing advertising channel

VANCOUVER, BC and PITTSBURGH, PA / ACCESSWIRE / May 23, 2023 / Snipp Interactive Inc. (TSXV:SPN)(OTC PINK:SNIPF), a Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) company in the global loyalty and promotions sector, and Triple llc. ('Triple'), a leading provider of Card Linked Offers (CLO) platforms and services enabling banks, credit unions, and loyalty providers of all sizes to launch innovative card-linked offer programs, are pleased to announce a strategic partnership to deliver CPG-funded, SKU-level, everyday purchase offers via financial institutions' cash-back reward programs.

This new partnership will deliver brand-funded rewards on everyday spend items in categories like food, pet, and health & beauty products that will bring a higher level of engagement to bank loyalty programs and open a new shopper marketing and promotions marketing channel. The combination of Triple's next generation card-linked offers platform and deep consumer & merchant banking relationships meshes perfectly with Snipp's decade of experience managing over 150 million SKU-level transactions with leading global CPG advertisers.

This partnership is at the forefront of two trends. Mobile couponing is expected to grow at an annual compounded growth rate of 56.5% by 2025¹, and 66% of consumer banking customers open their banking apps at least once per week². The new cash-back offers powered by Snipp through the Triple customer base represent a significant improvement in the types of rewards offered to consumers as part of banks' cash-back rewards programs, bringing the CPG-funded, SKU-level rebates from grocery, drug and convenience stores that consumers demand. Consumers use credit cards most frequently on groceries and general merchandise, representing 27.4% of monthly spend³.

Tom Burgess, President of Snipp Media, added, 'The most relevant offers for a consumer are related to everyday spend at places like grocery stores, pharmacies and convenience stores. By combining bank assets with SKU-level data, CPG companies and product manufacturers can fund cardholder discounts. For the first time, Snipp's Payments Media Network⁴ gives these companies an opportunity to reach millions of shoppers with targeted offers redeemable online and in-store via bank card and loyalty programs. They'll also get faster insights into campaign performance and ROI as compared to existing digital rewards programs.'

'SKU-level offers are a game changer for bank rewards - Snipp's brand relationships and access to CPG offer content will allow us to deliver the more compelling deals consumers are looking for from our banking clients' cash-back programs. This partnership will provide more innovative and highly relevant offers to Triple's rapidly growing customer base,' said Steven VanFleet, Co-Founder and Chief Strategy/Product Officer for Triple. 'Bringing CPG funded offers to our banking clients' consumers will add value to their rewards program, increasing engagement, spending and card usage,' added VanFleet.
