Offers.com Any association with meh?

StrangerDanger shared some links said Thu, Mar 12th 2015 at 7:51am ET

So everyday my local NBC affiliate runs "Ways to save" with items from Offers.com. It seems every item has been offered at meh.com but cheaper. 1 or 2 items maybe a coincidence. Looking at their site and scrolling to expired deals all 6 meh had earlier. Click here expired deals Offers.com

If you buy anything there, does it bring you through the Mediocre rent-a-checkout process?

I don't believe offers.com is, but checkout.org is definitely affiliated with mediocre.com. (meh's parent company) It seems your link to offers.com is an area that listed the past checkout.org coupon deals.

- @sohmageek not directly. It works as a middleman for payment and fulfillment.

- @medz Wait, there've been offers on checkout.org? I just went to check checkout out and there was basically nothing there.

- @joelmw there is nothing on that page, other 3rd parties have the deals and then the payment/fulfillment is handled on checkout.org
  
  An old example:

- @joelmw Checkout.org is basically Mediocre-as-a-Service: you provide the inventory, Mediocre provides the backend functions for your deal/site.
