We’ve Done It Again!

We’ve been busy over the past couple of months, and late last week released the fruit of our labors: an update to KickItBack.com.

Enhanced KIB Shop Page

Key among the improvements we’ve made is finalizing our processing of KickBacks earned by any of our new retailers. When we decided to expand our eBay cash-back program several months ago, we knew this represented a sea change that meant a lot of development work. Since then, we’ve added nearly 200 new retailers—some offering as much as 15% cash back. Our KickBack processing for those new retailers has now been perfected, which means you’ll start seeing KickBacks appearing in your account ledger much quicker (usually just a few days) than they did before.

Another major element of this release is a reworking of the Shop page. It now features detailed information about each retailer. Now you’ll find for each retailer a brief description, product categories—and in many cases, exclusive deals, coupons and specials—all of which work in conjunction with their cash-back offer.

“Whether it’s Buy.com’s coupon for 50% off New York Time’s Best Selling books, ‘FootLocker’s $20 off $99 orders’ offer, or Newegg’s free Call of Duty deal, this new capability takes KickItBack’s commitment to saving its users money to a whole new level,” says Robert Green, KIB’s product manager.” The Shop page is really the heart of the site, and with the new retailer information and deals, it’s become far more usable, and its offers even more valuable.”

Finally, we’ve also completely reworked the site’s KickBack Details page, which acts as a ledger, tracking all of your earned cash back. The page now delivers many more details (available for each earned KickBack) and usability enhancements, such as date-range selection, filtering, pagination, and an easy-to-read printing option.
