Here’s something we missed earlier, which is interesting. DealMine has gone wireless with the idea that people can comparison shop while out and about. The interesting thing about DealMine is that it combines all of the different discounts and offers that people get because of their affiliations. According to DealMine, “research showed that the average consumer has nine credit cards, belongs to four rewards programs and at least one association or club...all of which have member discounts/rewards/benefits”.
