[Consolidated]Cartera & beyond: list online shopping portal operators

Cartera Commerce Inc is the dominant operator of online shopping portals for US-based airlines, hotel chains and credit card issuers. We may sometime have the impression that there is no real competition, but a careful search turns up a number of other players.

Please check the portals that you use to determine the name of the operator. This isn't always easy to find, it may be buried in the terms or other fine print, or it may not be disclosed until you submit a claim for missing points.

When you reply to this thread please also update the Wiki post at the top. Anyone who has been a member of FlyerTalk for at least 90 days, and has contributed at least 90 posts, is able to edit any unlocked Wiki.

Thank you. Part of the challenge is that some of these companies have multiple identities, perhaps the result of mergers. webloyalty.com resolves to affiniongroup.com, and Affinion Group owns Incentive Networks as well as Connexions Loyalty which operates (for example) the ThankYou Points travel booking site.

That's the idea! And you do not need to accept the dull layout originated by the moderator. Change anything you like to make this a useful reference tool.

Surely someone uses the JetBlue or Frontier shopping site and can tell us the operator? There must be other shopping portals that I have overlooked?

Is there a shopping portal with eBay as a merchant? Also, which portal has the most stores to choose from?

I'd love to see Turkish Airlines Miles & Smiles add a shopping portal. I emailed them about this but never got an answer.
