Lucas and Luna dive into the economics of cashback affiliate programs—why they work, how merchants avoid cannibalizing their margins, and the rise of hybrid models that blend cashback with loyalty points. Using the example of a major U.S. cashback portal that partnered with airlines to offer miles instead of dollars, they explore the psychology of delayed rewards and the data that shows cashback shoppers have higher lifetime value than traditional coupon users. They also unpack the risks: fraud, double-dipping, and the danger of training customers to only buy when they get something back. If you're a merchant or an affiliate wondering whether cashback is a smart play in 2026, this episode gives you the framework to decide. Plus, Lucas shares a surprising stat about how cashback redemption rates spike after major shopping holidays, and Luna challenges the idea that cashback is just a race to the bottom. Tune in for a nuanced look at a strategy that's reshaping affiliate marketing.

Lucas explains how linear, time-decay, and position-based models distribute credit across the customer journey, and why data clean rooms are making multi-touch feasible under privacy regulations like GDPR and CCPA. The hosts also discuss tools like Impact.com and PartnerStack that automate attribution, and the tension between simplicity and fairness.
