ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Beenz.com

Have you ever gone to a store and bought something, and then the store gave you a little piece of paper that you could use to buy something else later? That's kind of how beenz.com worked!

beenz.com was a website that let you earn little digital points called "beenz" by doing certain things, like visiting websites or signing up for newsletters. Then, you could use those beenz to buy things you wanted, whether it was clothes, toys, or even plane tickets!

It was like a big online store, but instead of using real money, you used beenz. And instead of getting a paper receipt, you got a digital confirmation that you could use to get your item.

Unfortunately, though, beenz.com isn't around anymore. But other websites and apps still use the idea of digital points or rewards to encourage people to use their services!
