Bring Superpoints to Canada!

Summary

Superpoints launched in the USA in June 2014 and we've had loads of interest for opening the site up to Canada as well.  Bringing a project like this to market is not a simple task, so we're using this campaign to ensure the demand is there and to give us the resources to build the features that will allow us to service the Canadian market.

For those of you that have known Superpoints in the past, the only thing the "same" about this site is the name.  We have a new team, technology and vision.  Our corporate mission is to build the most fun, rewarding and sustainable reward network on the planet (not necessarily in that order).  Unfortunately, we don't have access to any of the data from the "old" system.

Launching in Canada requires us to update how we manage the Reward Catalog (only show things available in Canada), how we handle our Sweepstakes rules (don't break the law!) and how we provide support (we pride ourselves on our support response times!).  All of those things require resources, and so we're looking to you to help us make it a priority.

NOTE: The campaign isn't funded until the goal is reached.  What that means is that if there is enough interest in Canada then it makes sense for us to launch there, and if not, it doesn't.   We do not get any of the funds (and you are not charged!) unless the goal is reached (and even then it's to allocate resources to the build).

Risks and Challenges

We have already deployed an amazing first version of Superpoints in the USA and we have tons of new customers signing up every day.  Our wonderful USA customers have been gracious guinea pigs, and have worked with us to work out most of the initial kinks since our June 2014 launch.

We know what we need to do to service the Canadian market - we only need the resolve to make it a priority.  Make the decision for us!

If we reach our goal, we will start working on the features and they should take a couple weeks to build and a couple more weeks to test and deploy.    We will then create accounts for all our backers with the appropriate goodies, and you'll be ready to go!

Questions and Answers

Q: Why do we have to fund the launch for Canada when the USA could join without doing this?

A: The USA Members didn't have to do this because it was pretty clear that there would be enough users to make it a sustainable product from the start.  Also, the USA members had to deal with all the bugs (oops!) that we had to work through after our launch.

Q: Are you doing this to make sure that you get people from Canada that will become paid members, or do you only want to know if people will sign up?

A: We want people in Canada to be good promoters (particularly at the start).  If someone has spent $5 or $10 for an upgrade, then they'll be more likely to use the site to get it back.  That's good for us and good for them.  We've sent out over 500 Rewards in the USA in the last few weeks, and the good promoters are getting $500 gift cards, Apple iPads (on top of their early level rewards) and more.  The truth is that the people getting the best rewards end up upgrading to Platinum Status anyway, because the benefits are worth it.

Q: Will people who participate still need a sponsor or will they be the first in line?

A: Not only will the people who participate in the campaign not need a sponsor, they will ALL be Members on the day we launch, with all the Platinum Member benefits.  No Waiting!
