The trusted employee platform turning engagement into measurable performance

In affiliate marketing, trust is currency. Reward Gateway | Edenred (RGER) gives brands a direct route to one of the most engaged, high-intent audiences in the UK through employer-branded platforms people already use. With more than six million employees reached, 2.5 million opted-in subscribers and over one million app users, RGER turns employee engagement into performance you can measure.

Reward Gateway

Who is the publisher?

RGER combines the strengths of Reward Gateway and Edenred to create one of the UK’s largest closed-user-group network. Employees access offers through their employer’s branded hub, which gives brands rare credibility and consistent reach where people are already active. That trust converts into action, driving over £1.2 billion in transactions every year.

Which brands Reward Gateway works best with

RGER works best for brands that want to reach UK employees with spending power across travel, tech, lifestyle, entertainment, food and everyday essentials.

What matters most isn’t the category, but the approach. Success comes from the right offer, the right placement and a campaign setup tuned to how employees discover and buy.

Who’s already on board

RGER partners with leading brands across travel, lifestyle, food and retail, including TUI, adidas, HelloFresh, Expedia, Sage Appliances, and L’Occitane.

Each brand uses the platform differently, from exclusive codes and cashback activations to marketing funded exposure packages that drive measurable growth. Whether it’s scaling performance during peak retail periods or delivering long-term customer engagement, RGER provides a trusted, closed-user environment where brands can see real, incremental results.

What makes Reward Gateway stand out?

RGER operates in a closed, controlled environment rather than open channels. The result is reliable visibility, clean attribution and higher-quality engagement.

  • 83% of users completely or mostly trust RGER to find great offers
  • 64% say offers feel more credible in their employer’s space
  • 64% believe offers are more relevant and higher quality than elsewhere

Performance follows the trust. Emails average 39% open rate and 5.7% click-through, with triggered programmes up to 68% opens and 12% clicks. Deep integration with Braze personalises every touchpoint, lifting engagement by 20% and platform usage by 10%. Average order values are twice the affiliate industry benchmark.

What pain points do they solve for brands?

The affiliate landscape is evolving fast. AI-driven search, data restrictions and code duplication make it harder to track and measure success across open networks. RGER solves this by operating in a closed, transparent environment:

  • A trusted employer-branded platform removes code leakage and reduces click-chain noise
  • Behavioural and personalised placements allow higher ROI
  • RGER is the sole influencer in 80% of purchases they drive, giving clear attribution and measurable impact

How have they generated results for brands?

RGER delivers consistent performance across brand portfolios and adapts models to each brand’s goals and budgets.

Driving exposure through marketing-funded performance

For one leading home appliances brand, RGER’s model of funding exposure through CPA rather than upfront tenancy has driven meaningful growth:

  • 60% year-on-year revenue increase
  • Traffic up 118% in Q1 with over £30K in revenue generated
  • Weekly revenue uplifts over 50% from placements like “Our Picks” and top category banners
  • Market share growth from 7% in 2024 to 12% in 2025, with no fixed tenancy spend

Traditional closed-group success

For other partners, including a global beauty brand, RGER drives impact through exclusive codes and cashback offers. Using this approach, the brand generated over £15,000 in tracked sales with an affluent, loyal audience.

Broader partner performance

Across Silverbean brands, RGER has driven over £4 million in tracked revenue year-to-date, spanning more than 24,000 orders and 150,000 visits. This performance reflects a mix of CPA-funded exposure and traditional closed-group campaigns, all rooted in engagement, relevance and measurable outcomes.

How can brands partner with Reward Gateway?

Whether your goal is to increase conversions, reach new audiences or improve efficiency, RGER offers flexible activation models: CPA, hybrid CPA + codes or tenancy where it makes sense. Exposure is available across email, app and category placements. Brands can fund placements through their existing commission, unlocking premium visibility without needing incremental media budget. With brand-appropriate placements and high-intent audiences, RGER aligns with where consumers are already engaged.
