Ka-Ching!
E3D has launched a rewards scheme that pays you for spending.

The 3D printer component manufacturer has launched a program that nets you points for spending, as well as sharing and following on social media.

Unlike memberships that lock perks behind annual spend thresholds, this is a straightforward "earn-and-burn" model. Points can be exchanged for fixed-percentage discount codes: 500 coins for 5% off, scaling to 20% at the 3,000-coin mark. Best of all, the discounts can stack on top of other promos, like the company's Black Friday sale. More details can be found in a blog post covering the launch.
