I've suggested this elsewhere, but it kinda got lost in the shuffle, so...

Whenever I shop on the internet, I use a site called fatwallet.com, which is essentially a virtual storefront.  They get a commission from the merchant and kick back a portion of it to me.  Since I'm using iTunes, eBay, etc. anyway, there's no reason not to get something back for it.

There's also no reason that E3K couldn't do the same thing to make a few bucks.  Most merchants have links on their sites and I would happily shop at E3K if I got moves for my shopping.  Just a thought.

We've started looking at this service.  My hesitation with a player reward for it is that I see no evidence that we would have any means to track that Player X spend $Y at this store.  Only that we got a cash flow payback amount of $Z.

Interesting.  I wonder how other sites do it to pay their participants.  I'm not much of a techie, so I'm no help here.

Even if we couldn't, I bet some people would be willing to shop here to support the game! Smiley
