Rewards Bunny case study

Building a rewards platform with users, merchants, and real GMV.

Rewards Bunny is a Singapore-built rewards platform spanning cashback, merchant discovery, affiliate attribution, reward rules, payout workflows, and emerging AI-assisted commerce.

The problem

Rewards are simple at the surface. Underneath, the hard part is connecting users, merchants, incentives, attribution, and payout operations into one reliable product experience.

Users

Make discovery and reward value obvious.

Users need to find useful merchants, understand incentives, and trust that rewards are tracked correctly.

Merchants

Connect supply without manual chaos.

The platform needed to handle a broad merchant and brand network while keeping the user journey simple.

Operations

Turn cashback into a dependable system.

Affiliate attribution, reward logic, customer support, and payouts create operational complexity behind each transaction.

Product system

The platform evolved into a set of connected product and operating layers rather than a single cashback page.

Founder scope

The strongest signal is not one narrow function. It is end-to-end ownership across product, technical, commercial, and operational decisions.

“The useful skill is turning a messy business system into something users can trust and teams can operate.”

What this work demonstrates: product, systems, and operating judgment across a multi-sided platform.
