Nick Posted April 19, 2021 Share Based on the information available on the website, it looks like a dressed-up marketing mailing list to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Posted April 19, 2021 Share Thats what I'm worried about, when a website doesnt give you much information it triggers my spidey sensors "Imatra retains a 5% commission on every transaction generated by its users." A commission on their own currency? Real money must come into it somewhere. I'd guess users can buy products part with virtual currency and mostly with their own money. If the discounts are significant, maybe it'll work. Strava with daily discounts? T&Cs speak of paid subscriptions. Perhaps that could be an angle too? On top of the commission on each transaction? Also, based in Spain, so expect shipping fees. But as you say, why the deliberate vagueness? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shebeen Posted April 19, 2021 Share Has anyone seen this or used it ?Popped up on my Insta' feed over the weekend.If this idea had any substance to it, then strava/endomondo et al would have tried it. Discovery already use your activity as some sort of reward and that's about as good as it will ever get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reme Le Hane Posted April 19, 2021 Share Well the app itself does not work very well at all, everything under profile is broken. Everything in the store is “coming soon”. For now it’s really just a shifty ride tracker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RocknRolla Posted April 19, 2021 Share Based on the "if you are not paying for a product - then you are the product" rule, this is like stated before, a cleverly surprised mailing list, with added benefit to the companies involved of physical tracking of the person, this can then be related back to products and services in the "area of travel and interaction" of said cyclists. I'm not buying it. Pun intended. Danger Dassie and Rowl 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
