Prodege, the parent company of MyPoints, was founded in Torrance, California in 2005 by Josef Gorowitz.
The company originally partnered with search providers to build a platform for raising charitable donations. Supporters of the charities would earn money for the charities while surfing and shopping using white-labeled web browsers.
In 2008, Prodege launched Swagbucks. In April 2016, Prodege bought rewards site MyPoints from United Online for $13 million.
MyPoints provides online marketing, consumer polling, and marketing research. Clients answer surveys and earn points that can be redeemed for gift cards.
Other subsidiaries of Prodege include:
- Swagbucks – a website and application where users shop and watch videos for cash rewards and gift cards
- ShopAtHome – a cash-back shopping and coupon site.
- InboxDollars – an online rewards site.
- CouponCause – a coupon site that donates the money users save to non-profits.
- Upromise – a coupon site that contributes to education savings accounts.
- Ysense – a gift card rewards program for customers who shop and watch videos.
The company also operates various consumer reward card programs with other companies.
