Cartera, a Rakuten company and a leading source of Shop & Earn programs, and Kigo, an Augeo company that delivers a modern loyalty and rewards platform for the agentic era, today announced a new partnership to power more intelligent, personalized retail rewards for Kigo’s growing roster of Fortune 500 clients and their program members.

The strategic collaboration integrates Cartera's extensive network of retail offers into Kigo's loyalty platform, further expanding a rewards ecosystem that already includes more than three million offers and rewards across hyper-local merchants, national brands, CPG, gift cards, merchandise, travel, live events, and experiences. The partnership will launch across Kigo-powered rewards programs, bringing additional savings opportunities to more than 100 million loyalty program members across leading telecommunications, healthcare, financial services, membership, and consumer engagement organizations.

Together, the companies are pairing breadth of content with the intelligence to make it relevant to each individual. With Kigo's advanced personalization capabilities applied to Cartera's extensive offer inventory, brands can now connect members with rewards that truly resonate, ultimately driving bottom-line growth by increasing conversion rates, average order values, and customer lifetime value.

“Our goal is to make every interaction more valuable for the individual. Integrating our retail offer engine into Kigo’s platforms makes it easier for members to discover exclusive discounts from the brands they shop frequently. By leveraging Cartera’s proven infrastructure, Kigo significantly broadens member value, ensuring its programs offer the most relevant and actionable rewards possible.”

-Marc Mazzone, General Manager of Cartera

"By increasing consumer choice through our expanding catalog of offers and rewards, we’re moving beyond simple access to true relevance. By combining Cartera's content with Kigo's personalization capabilities, we’re able to connect consumers with the savings, rewards, and experiences that are most relevant to them, creating a more valuable experience for both members and brands."
