# Card-Linked Offers (CLO) Explained for Partners

Card-Linked Offers (CLO) are a type of promotion in which a brand offers some incentive for a consumer to buy their product or service using a linked credit or debit card.

#### How are you involved with CLO as a partner?

* When you implement CLO with a brand, the brand will pay you for any card-linked sales you drove. You then pay the consumer the cash reward or rewards points promised in the original offer.
* Implementing Card-linked Offers (CLO) as a partner allows you to import transaction data for one or more brands. You can utilize the same setup for any number of brands you currently partner with.
