Register as Incentive Recipient
Welcome to Incentise! This guide will walk you through creating your account as an incentive recipient. As an incentive recipient, you can request and earn cashback, discounts, and other rewards from businesses on the platform.
What is an Incentive Recipient?
An incentive recipient is someone who:
- Requests incentives (cashback, discounts) for products and services they want to purchase
- Completes actions (like making purchases) to earn rewards
- Receives payouts directly to their account
- Helps businesses understand customer demand through their requests
This is different from an incentive provider (vendor), who creates and manages incentive programs for their business.
Before You Start
Make sure you have:
- ✅ A valid email address that you can access
- ✅ A device with internet connection
- ✅ About 5-10 minutes to complete registration
