Mall Networks Pilot

With Verizon & FairPoint Pioneers

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What is Mall Networks?

Mall Networks is an online shopping mall available to Verizon and FairPoint Pioneers through a partnership with TelecomPioneers, the worldwide headquarters for all Pioneers.  Mall Networks enables you to shop at top retail stores from the convenience of your own home while receiving rebates and helping the Pioneers!

Which Pioneer groups are eligible for the Mall Networks rebate program?

Presently, only the Verizon and FairPoint Pioneers are participating in this pilot benefits program with TelecomPioneers Headquarters. 

Why should I shop here?

Every time you shop at the TelecomPioneers Mall, you earn Rebate Dollars. You simply click on a retailer’s name or logo shop online as usual—you'll earn Rebate Dollars for the purchases you make during that session. It’s that easy. And, Pioneers “double dip” when they receive exclusive rebates plus earn cash back for the national organization and their chapter on every purchase.  The amount of the rebate is determined by the retailer.

How do the rebates work?

When you make purchases through the TelecomPioneers Mall, a portion of your purchase is credited to your account as Rebate Dollars.  On a quarterly basis, if you have accumulated at least $10 in Rebate Dollars, your Rebate Dollars are converted to a check and mailed it to you.  The amount of the rebate is determined by the retailer.  View the retailer's information page for specific details. See example below.

How does TelecomPioneers benefit?

TelecomPioneers Headquarters receives an amount equal to 20% of the members rebate (member still receives 100% of their rebate). 

How does my Verizon or FairPoint Pioneer chapter, council or club benefit?

70% of the money TelecomPioneers receives back from each rebate is distributed back out to Verizon and FairPoint Pioneers.  The remaining 30% stays at Pioneer Headquarters to develop Pioneer programs and benefits.

How will they know what chapter I belong to?

TelecomPioneers Headquarters will receive a list of Pioneers who have shopped from Mall Networks and match this back to chapter information so monies can be distributed back out on a quarterly basis.

Can non-Pioneers shop here?

Yes.  Friends and family of Pioneers can shop at Mall Networks, earn and receive rebate checks.  Since Pioneer Headquarters is unable to match a non-Pioneer back to a specific chapter, the chapter portion of the rebate will be distributed back to the Verizon or FairPoint Pioneer Chapter that is active in the shopper’s geographic region.
