Blackhawk Network and Extole
With the Extole and BHN integration, reward fulfillment is automated, with real-time delivery and a wide choice of rewards for your offer and engagement campaigns. BHN's selection of prepaid and gift card options means you can give each customer the incentive that motivates them, while saving the time and cost of fulfilling rewards yourself.
Rewards ordered the moment they're earned
When a customer earns a reward, Extole places the order with BHN through the Hawk Marketplace API and follows it until it's fulfilled. Every referral and incentive program runs from one Extole platform, with delivery handled for you as the programs grow.

The right card for each reward
Offer virtual prepaid cards that work wherever Visa and Mastercard debit cards are accepted, physical single-load cards, reloadable cards topped up with each new reward, or eGift cards from popular merchants. Change a reward, its creative, or the program yourself, with no vendor or agency change order.

Saved up and redeemed in Reward Bank
BHN cards work inside Extole's Reward Bank, so advocates can let rewards add up across referrals and other actions, then cash them in for the card they want.

BHN rewards beyond referrals
Use the same BHN account to fund welcome offers, new account bonuses, sweepstakes, and loyalty incentives, all managed in Extole alongside your referral program.

What every reward returns
Extole's real-time dashboards connect each reward to the referrals and conversions behind it, so you can prove ROI and move budget to the incentives that work.

On brand from the first share to the reward
Customers, employees, and partners share through an experience in your brand, on your website, in email, or in your app, and the reward arrives as a BHN card.
