Created by industry leaders in family entertainment, educational content and toys, SmartyCard.com features age-appropriate content from supplemental education leaders Learnstar, Ignite and Learning.com, as well as the most popular rewards from Club Penguin™, WebKinz, Star Doll, BellaSara and many other popular family sites. SmartyCard is backed by leading venture capitalists and is based in San Mateo, California.

Smarty Card Affiliate Program Details
You can join the affiliate program by going to the Smarty Card Affiliate Program here. To understand the cardaffiliate program you need to first understand the Smarty Card model, which as a father of three I find brillant. Parents, such as myself, purchase a Smarty Card which provides points that my children can earn. Once my children play the educational games they earn points. If I have purchased a card they can then exchange those points for real world tangible items and even virtual points. As a Smarty Card affiliate you earn for each card sold, see the details on their site.

As a parent I try to not give my children things but have them earn them and this is just another way for me to reinforce my same value system online as I do offline.

SmartyCard Launched

Every day I see a new company funded and wonder why, then once in a while I see a new site/service launch and think to myself “brilliant!”.

Welcome SmartyCard, whose new service that just launched today is Brilliant. Their service allows parents like me to have an alternative to the standard games our children find online. Their games, which you have to try, are educational but in a way that makes them just as fun as other games your kids would play online. And that is just the beginning, the child earns points as they play. Registration is free, however if you but a SmartyCard with points your child can then redeem the points they are earning. Points can be redeemed for prizes or for other sites that require points. For my kids I want to be sure they play educational games and this is working. In our house, since I set up a computer for each of my three boys, they are online quite a bit. I limit it but also like to teach them how to use them, this is ideal for me.

Parents and children can enjoy this, you can play with your kids as I did, however the experience was better than I thought. On most sites I have to be close by to help the kids when they get stuck. However what was refreshing was that someone created the games with that in mind, and the multiple choice gave my kids the confidence to answer questions and not ask me every two minutes to help.
