A new green virtual rewards card is launched today – and will be accepted by over 1,000 big name online retailers including wine merchants Oddbins and Virgin Wines.
Using the carboncred card gives free green reward points to shoppers for every purchase made online at one of 1000 partner stores. These points can then be used to buy green lifestyle products and services to cut shoppers’ personal CO2 emissions.
How it works
Step 1: Shop online
With 1000 retailers to choose from, if you can buy it online, you can find it at the CarbonCred Mall.
Step 2: Earn points
Every purchase counts towards your CarbonCred.its, whether it’s a mobile phone or home insurance.
Step 3: Reduce CO2
Use your CarbonCred.its to lower your carbon footprint.Buy carbon-busting products, or pay your green energy bills.
They estimate that an average shopper using the site for a year could collect 750 CarbonCred.its. These would pay for a years electricity.
Other wine related sites involved include Absinthe Supply, Baileys Wine Merchants (a Spanish specialist where CarbonCred.it reward are approx. 3.00% of your purchase), drinkstuff.com (1.25%), Gift to Drink , the Whisky Exchange (2.5%) and Sparkling Direct (4%). Oddbins give rewards to around 2.5% of your purchase.
This site is just a rip off affiliate site. Basically, they are trying to cash in on the “green” movement to make thousands for themselves. If you really want to do something like this then go to a cashback site and donate the money to a real scheme rather than a rip off scheme. carboncred.it? NoCred.it I think.
I am surprised you know so much about us when you have never spoken to me, to any of our team, or anybody associated with our company. I usually try to get some substance to my comments before I speak but the problem with blogs is that it allows anyone to show ignorance whilst hiding behind anonymity. You are conducting a blog campaign against CarbonCred which leads me to assume you have a vested interest to protect. Our offer to visit us and discuss your concerns remains. Just call. We look forward to meeting you.
