Subtitle: - Rebates are a huge worldwide business - Rebate Delivery
is the first global rebate service for online sales, operating the
consumer portal GetMyRebate.com

Karlsruhe (euro adhoc) - Karlsruhe, March 18, 2010 - asknet AG,
recently ranked as one of Germany´s fastest-growing technology
companies in Deloitte´s "Technology Fast 50" report, announced Rebate
Delivery as its partner for worldwide purchase incentives/mail-in
rebates.

Launched in early 2009 by a team of veterans from the software and
eCommerce/ESD (Electronic Software Distribution) industry, Rebate
Delivery is the leader in global mail-in rebate solutions for
eCommerce. The company´s combination of traditional mail-in rebates
with online sales of digital products has resulted in a
patent-pending solution.

Applying the concept of a traditional mail-in rebate program to the
international online marketplace requires a global rebate solution.
Rebate Delivery has created a new patent-pending technology and
service by combining global mail-in locations with global payment
solutions, as well as robust rebate creation, fulfillment, and
tracking solutions. Unlike the traditional mail-in rebate model,
rebate forms are simple, no extra documentation is required, and
consumers who mail in rebate forms are paid immediately.

"Adding the best-in-class on-line rebate provider Rebate Delivery to
our portfolio of eMarketing services empowers our customers with even
more innovative online marketing and proven sales enablement tools.
Now software vendors partnering with asknet can use rebates as a
discounting solution that yields the same kind of positive sales
results retailers have been experiencing for years," says Mark R.
Begin, Vice President of Global Account Management at asknet Inc.
"When rebates are done right, everyone wins: eCommerce companies´
revenues increase because gross sales are higher; vendors profit from
low redemption rates; and consumers ultimately pay less for software
while being introduced to more products via alternative offers."

Jason Foodman, CEO of Rebate Delivery, explains, "Rebates are an
excellent discounting and incentive method that work just as well
online as in retail -- or better. The solution also takes advantage
of the online nature of transactions to provide consumers alternative
offers in lieu of claiming a rebate. Worldwide address verification
is provided along with archiving of electronic copies of all
collateral documents for support and reporting purposes."

solutions for global software sales via the Internet. Founded in 1995
as a spin-off of the University of Karlsruhe, one of Germany´s most
prestigious technical universities, the company has become the number
two independent global provider for electronic software distribution.
In addition to its fully integrated shop solutions for software
publishers, the company develops and maintains portals for software
distribution such as softwarehouse.de, one of Europe's largest
platform for downloads of standard software. In 2008, asknet had
sales of approximately 74.7 million euros. In 2009 the Karlsruhe
company was named in the Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu "Technology Fast
50"ranking of the fastest-growing technology firms in Germany. Among
