### "A great way to win new customers"

September 23, 2022

5.0

Pros

I liked how easy it was to get set-up and roll the service out to customers. It is simple and straightforward.

Cons

I would like more reporting options and for customers to receive an email to let them know if their referral hasn't been successful.

Reason for choosing Buyapowa

The integration was more flexible and we could start using it without the need for web development.

### "Excellent support and flexible programme!"

January 14, 2025

5.0

Pros

The team at Buyapowa have been so supportive and have provided their expertise and guidance throughout whilst we switched over to our new refer a friend scheme. The flexibility of the programme and the endless technical support has also been brilliant and meant that the set up was smooth. Our account manager \[sensitive content hidden\] is also so helpful, provides us with regular updates and always provides support with our queries. It's a pleasure working with the Buyapowa team and we look forward to continuing to work together for the coming years!

Cons

Nothing - set up and launch has gone really smoothly and we're pleased with our results so far. I'm really looking forward to working with Buyapowa to grow our customer base on the platform over the coming months!

### "Best in class"

August 28, 2024

5.0

The whole team at Buyapowa have been nothing short of excellent throughout my entire experience of working with them. We've been provided with endless support and expertise from our first conversation right through to deployment and beyond!

Pros

The technical expertise, flexibility and commercial agreement of Buyapowa really set it apart from competitors in the marketplace. It's great to have additional tools and continual learning opportunities from global experts too.

Cons

Nothing - we've even extended our initial contract with Buyapowa to include additional services.

Reason for choosing Buyapowa

The documentation provided by Buyapowa was comprehensive and we struck up a great working relationship with our Sales Manager straight away. The commercial agreement was competitive and we had confidence in not only the product but also the people behind it.

Having used Aklamio via Awin and facing ongoing tracking issues, we decided to look for a direct referral solution that could manage our referral tracking and reward fulfilment as a single solution.

Very good!

Pros

In general, de whole process with Buyapowa has been very easy and friendly. They are very organized and give all the support we need. They are constantly trying to find new ways of helping us improve the program.

Cons

More costumizable exports. They have their own reports, but maybe a more "costumizable" report woudl be nice to have.

### "Fantastic Training and Support"

March 7, 2023

4.0

The Buyapowa team is incredibly supportive and I can easily say it was the best software training I have attended.

Pros

The ability to offer different types of rewards. The potential for automation.

Cons

We are unable to use the features to their full potential due to some referral program parameters set by our industry. The content management is also less hands-on than programs I have used in the past.

### "Positive launch experience with a responsive team"

December 22, 2025

5.0

Overall, our experience with Buyapowa was very positive—smooth launch process, an intuitive platform, and a team that was consistently helpful, responsive, and proactive. They listened to what we needed, supported us through implementation, and even delivered a customized training guide for our customer-facing teams, which made go-live feel organized and confident.

Pros

Buyapowa made our referral program launch smooth from start to finish. The platform is intuitive, onboarding was well-structured, and the team was very helpful and quick to respond whenever we had questions. We felt supported the whole way and went live with confidence.

Cons

They were also very helpful in creating and providing a customized training guide once we requested it—tailored to the real challenges our customer-facing teams run into—so our teams could feel confident and consistent from day one.

### "Fantastic onboarding process"

May 6, 2025

5.0

The overall experience has been extremely positive. From the initial meetings to the understand our needs to getting everything ready for launch, we've felt supported throughout. The communication has been wonderful and we know our Client Success Manager is around to help answer any questions in a timely manner. Following our launch we're excited to see growth from our referrals.

Pros

The onboarding process has been extremely well-managed. We had regular touchpoints at each phase with an expert who talked us through what was expected. It was particularly useful to have the email content spreadsheet for us to refer to and follow best practice when creating our own content.

Cons

There were no negative experiences or anything I disliked throughout the process. Our launch went very smoothly.

### "Smooth onboarding and easy-to-use platform"

August 12, 2025

5.0

My overall experience has been very positive — the platform is intuitive, the team is professional and supportive, and their structured onboarding ensures a smooth start and long-term success.

Pros

The onboarding process is thorough and well-structured, which really helps to set everything up correctly from the start. You can tell the team has solid processes in place, which inspires confidence. Once you’re up and running, the product itself is very intuitive and straightforward to use.

Cons

The onboarding process can take a bit longer than expected, but that’s only because it’s thorough and ensures everything is set up properly, which ultimately saves time and prevents issues later.

### "Making referrals possible! "

March 10, 2023

4.0

Overall, Buyapowa allows us to enable a referral program for multiple types of customers at our organization. They seamlessly manage the leads and the reward distribution, creating more efficiency for the program and less of a strain on our resources.

Pros

What I like most about Buyapowa is the easy-to-use portal that allows visibility into the number of signups, shares and referrals. Generating reporting from this platform is also simple to use! The Buyapowa platform also allows visibility for our referral customers to see how successful they have been and when they can expect their reward. Additionally, my experience with our Client Success Manager has been excellent. \[sensitive content hidden\] is attentive, responsive and dedicated to the customer experience. He ensures that our problems are solved quickly and ensures that our program is running to expected levels.

Cons

What I like least about Buyapowa is the marketing campaign (email) template - it is not very flexible so it doesn't allow for adjustments to make it feel more on brand. Additionally, we use the email journey to market to our customers but there is no user-friendly way to look at the email metrics and see where customers are falling out of the lead funnel. Having this information would be helpful for users and allow us to make impactful changes to our campaigns.

Pros

Cons

There's nothing that I "least like" about Buyapowa, only some nice to have improvement points.

### "Excellent Company"

November 4, 2020

5.0

It is still early days to recognise what benefits this will bring to Vitality but with the projections we have calculated, this programme is going to be a huge win for us.

Pros

The software is really easy to use and was very flexible to some of our demands. Our ambition is one click share and the platform has allowed us to do this in some of our referral incentives.

Cons

I think that there can be a few restrictions on the design front, which at times has frustrated our UI team.

At our business we close 69% of business that comes from a referral. We differentiate in the market on customer service'so customers are happy to refer us but we needed a systematic way to approach referrals. RewardStream offered us a simple solution to manage and track the referrals that our clients make on our behalf.

Pros

We were delighted with the subject matter expertise that RewardStream brought to the table when helping us develop our referral program. The portal is as easy to use as Gmail.

Cons

Not much to complain about. Wish we'd started a long time ago with a solution like this.
