### "The best part was the excellent support."

September 12, 2025

5.0

My experience with the implementation of the Byuapowa referral program deserves a full 10/10. \[sensitive content hidden\] and her team went above and beyond to make sure I felt supported from start to finish. They were always available to help, patient with my questions, and truly made the whole process much easier than I expected.

Pros

What I liked most about Buyapowa was how easy and intuitive the platform is, both for us as administrators and for our customers using the referral program.

Cons

Some areas of customization felt a bit limited compared to what we initially imagined, but overall the platform still met our goals.

### "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.

Friendly, proactive team backed by a flexible product mix.

Pros

A very flexible product mix that allowed us to deliver a truly custom referral scheme, and a proactive team that supported a complex delivery.

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.

### "Would définitly reffer to a friend ! "

November 24, 2025

5.0

Overall, my experience with Buyapowa has been very positive. The tool is simple to use and effective, and the support—especially through \[sensitive content hidden\]—has been excellent. With a few improvements to how statistics are presented, the platform would be even more user-friendly, but I’m very satisfied with the results and the collaboration.

Pros

I really appreciated the quality of the collaboration with \[sensitive content hidden\]. Our exchanges were always smooth, she was very available, and her recommendations were consistently relevant and helpful. The platform itself is easy to use and delivers strong results, which made the whole experience efficient and positive.

Cons

The statistics could be clearer and more accessible. A more intuitive way to navigate and analyze performance data would make the tool even stronger.

### "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.

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.

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.

Reason for choosing Buyapowa

We thought that Buyapowa had the best platform for online integration

### "Referral Marketing"

August 15, 2019

5.0

Superb. Team excellent and the set up process couldn't have been smoother

Pros

The flexibility, we utilise the referral platform in several different ways, driving customer traffic through our online channels. Resulting in lower acquisition costs for us, smoother customer journeys and value for the customer via the vouchers.

Cons

To honest there isn't anything not to like. The software is easy to navigate, the team are excellent. If I was being picky it would be that Buyapowa do not offer customer facing support, but equally we don't pay for this, and neither would we want to.
