About Cartera Commerce
Cartera Commerce operates as a loyalty technology and marketing services provider, specializing in card-linked and merchant-funded loyalty programs for financial institutions and airlines. The company's platform enables users of its clients' loyalty programs, such as American Airlines and Bank of America, to earn rewards, including points or miles, when they shop online, in-store, or through an app with participating retailers. This business model is centered on building a coalition of merchants, which in turn fund the rewards, making it a cost-effective solution for its large-scale clients to enhance customer engagement and loyalty without diluting their own reward systems.

Founded in 2005 by Dave Andre and located in the Boston area, Cartera Commerce has established itself as a significant player in the loyalty program sector. In a key strategic move, the company was acquired by Ebates, which is now known as Rakuten Rewards, a major operator in the cash-back and shopping rewards industry. This acquisition integrated Cartera's specialized technology and client base into Rakuten's broader ecosystem, allowing for expanded service offerings and market reach. The company's solutions are designed to be seamlessly integrated into their clients' existing platforms, providing a white-label experience for the end-user.
