Perks will be part of Purch's Active Junky platform, which is a site that provides cash back and price comparisons for all kinds of outdoor gear and apparel, and also on the ShopSavvy App, one of the world's largest mobile online shopping apps. Over time, the membership program will be incorporated into other Purch brands, such as Tom's Guide, Tom's Hardware, TopTenReviews.com and other sites, the company said.
