What is Reward Post?
In 2005 RewardPost.com was forged from the idea of Ian Mirisola to create a centralized world wide location where instant missing person and wanted ads could be posted in minutes and searched in seconds. The idea was to become the Amber Alert of the internet. Soon RewardPost.com evolved into a website designed for placing Ads for any item you want others to find, be it a missing person, car part, or information on people, places or things. With the World Wide Web’s enormous possibilities and massive search engine hits, it is difficult to find anything without wasting valuable time. With RewardPost.com it is easy to place an ad, but instead of selling something, you specify what you’re willing to pay for the item you want, and then people contact you. Let others look for your item and they can profit; if they find the item for under your reward price. If they are unable to find your item for less than you want, they can negotiate with you over the price. But, the most novel reward ad is the Pledge ad and the Pledge with charity selection.
What services does RewardPost.com provide?
RewardPost.com offers the ability to place two types of ads, the Reward ad and the Pledge ad. The Reward ad is for novelty items, for example, “I will pay $500.00 for a 1959 Cadillac Carburetor in excellent condition.” Another type of Reward ad is for a missing person, for example, “I offer $10,000 for the safe return of my son John Jones missing from Los Angeles on June 1, 2030.”
RewardPost.com offers the ability to post a Pledge ad, which allows anyone to contribute money to a Reward ad. An example of a Pledge ad is a, “1 billion dollar goal for the arrest and conviction of Osama Bin Laden,” or “1 million dollar goal of finding the remains of Jimmy Hoffa,” or “$1000 reward for the arrest and conviction of a criminal burglarizing a particular city.” The Pledge Reward ad allows others to pledge money to your ad. Family, friends, neighbors, and people all over the world contribute to the ad, and by doing so automatically select a charity the money will go to if there is no claim for the reward. Since there is a vast amount of individual pledges, we are unable to process refunds. When you pledge to a Pledge Reward your contribution is final and will either go to the Pledge Reward if there is a valid claim, or to the charity you select. |
