Leading consumer cash-back rewards app with card-linked offer technology, now part of Cardlytics ecosystem
Dosh is a financial technology company that operates a cash-back rewards platform connecting consumers with merchants through card-linked offer technology. Founded in 2016, Dosh enables users to automatically earn cash back on purchases at participating merchants by linking their credit or debit cards to the app, eliminating the need for coupons or manual activation. The platform serves as a bridge between consumers seeking rewards and merchants looking to drive customer acquisition and loyalty. While primarily positioned in the fintech space, Dosh intersects with the AdTech ecosystem through its performance marketing and customer acquisition capabilities for brands. The company partners with merchants, retailers, and brands to deliver targeted offers and measure attribution through card-linked transactions. In 2020, Dosh was acquired by Cardlytics, a purchase intelligence platform, which integrated Dosh's consumer-facing rewards app into its broader advertising and marketing ecosystem. This acquisition strengthened Cardlytics' position in the card-linked offer market and expanded its reach to direct consumer engagement.
