The NextCard eCommerce Index combines two critical components to accurately reflect online transaction activity: (1) a large cardholder base that reflects the demographic profile of online purchasers and (2) data-mining technology that tracks card transactions online. As some of the most sophisticated online consumers, NextCard customers make online purchases approximately five times more often than the average online credit card user. As a result, the NextCard eCommerce Index not only provides valuable information about where online consumers are actually buying, but it also reflects the ability of merchants to convert web visitors to buyers, and buyers to repeat customers.
