How SavZen Makes Money - Our Transparent Affiliate & Rewards Model
SavZen is free to use. We earn affiliate commissions when you shop through our links, and we use part of that revenue to fund ZenPoints rewards.
How Our Affiliate Model Works (In 60 Seconds)
Our simple, transparent process
1. You Click to a Partner Store
Browse our site and click through to your favourite retailers. This creates a trackable affiliate referral.
2. You Shop as Usual
Complete your purchase normally. The price you pay is exactly the same as shopping directly.
3. We Fund ZenPoints Rewards
The retailer pays SavZen a commission for the successful referral. We use part of that commission to fund ZenPoints rewards for eligible purchases.
How ZenPoints Rewards Are Funded
How we split retailer commissions
Commission Split
A significant portion of the retailer commission is shared with you as ZenPoints rewards.
Verification, customer support, technology maintenance, and platform costs.
Tracking & Cookies - How Purchases Are Attributed
How we track purchases for ZenPoints attribution
What We Track
- Affiliate tracking: We use referral links and cookies to attribute purchases to your account. This tracking is used only to confirm your purchase and credit ZenPoints, not to profile your general online activity.
- We do NOT track: Your general browsing history outside of ZenPoints clicks.
- We do NOT see: Your payment details, passwords, or personal communications.
- Note: Ad blockers, privacy settings, or other deal extensions may prevent tracking.
Tips to Ensure Tracking
- • Disable ad blockers temporarily
- • Complete purchase in same session
- • Don't use other deal sites
- • Allow cookies for the retailer
