Prospectus Summary

Overview, page 1

 

1. You state that customers of your FI partners are “at least nine times more likely to engage with [y]our marketers’ advertisements as compared to worldwide display digital advertisement click rates.” Please tell us how you measure customer engagement for purposes of this comparison. To the extent your reference to engagement here includes customers who were presented with an incentive and subsequently made a purchase from the marketer regardless of whether they redeemed the incentive, explain further your comparison to click rates, for which engagement is typically defined differently.

     The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment and respectfully advises the Staff that, for the purposes of this calculation, the Company measures engagement solely by calculating the rate at which FI customers click on presented incentives. Accordingly, the Company believes that this measure of engagement is calculated on a basis consistent with the worldwide display digital advertisement click rates reported by eMarketer.
