Compare the program owner first
Several rewards are run by suppliers or buying groups, not by the wholesaler banner. A Haymans or MM Electrical customer may use Club Clipsal or S-Tech, but those are not Haymans-owned or MM-owned loyalty schemes.
Research tool
Electrical wholesaler rewards programs compared
A source-backed working comparison of public rewards, points, promo and trade-account benefit programs. It is deliberately noindex while the dataset is being filled out and checked.
Points and promosMechanics captured where published.
Terms matterProgram rules change; source links are shown.Unknown is not negative
If public terms do not state expiry, tiers or redemption value, this tool leaves it unknown. It does not infer that a rule does not exist.
Pair pages need more proof
Use this as a data-quality tool first. Indexed “A vs B” pages should wait until both sides have current public terms and materially different mechanics.
Tradie score
What the score is actually judging
The score is a practical usefulness check, not a promise of dollar value. It asks: will a working electrical contractor earn anything meaningful, can they redeem it without friction, and are the catches clear enough to trust?
25pts
Reward value
How meaningful the return looks from public earn rates, bonuses or trade benefits.
15pts
Ease of earning
Whether rewards accrue on normal buying, or only on narrow products, vendors or order types.
15pts
Redemption usefulness
Whether the reward is practical: gift cards, Visa cards, useful catalogue, travel points or account offset.
15pts
Access fit
How easy it is for a trade buyer to qualify and use the program through normal suppliers.
10pts
Effort and expiry
Less admin, fewer claims and longer point life score better.
10pts
Gotcha risk
Penalises hidden rates, portal-gated rules, tight exclusions, short campaigns and narrow supplier lists.
10pts
Proof clarity
How much current public evidence exists to support the details shown.
