Press Release
Save $25 at GiftCards.com
Pittsburgh, PA | May 7, 2008
GiftCards.com is currently running a promotion that enables shoppers to save $25 when they purchase Visa gift cards. Consumers purchasing gift cards totaling $100 or more are eligible to receive a $25 rebate courtesy of eBillme. Customers must be first-time eBillme users to receive the rebate.
With spring in full swing and gift cards being a very popular graduation gift, wedding gift, and teacher gift, GiftCards.com is pleased to offer such an attractive promotion during this time of year. The average graduation gift is $50 cash according to a 2007 National Retail Federation poll and with the popularity and flexibility of gift cards, giving a personalized Visa gift card can allow the recipient to shop anywhere they would like.
"We are thrilled to offer this promotion and to give Giftcards.com customers the opportunity to experience the security of using the eBillme payment option for checkout," says Marwan Forzley, President and CEO of eBillme. "Customers have already begun experiencing the benefits of secure online banking checkout and we look forward to continuing to work with GiftCards.com to enhance the customer checkout experience and provide more opportunities for shoppers to use eBillme," continued Forzley.
GiftCards.com began offering eBillme as a checkout option in November 2007 and has seen a steady increase in users since. "We are able to offer an alternate payment option that is easy to use, secure, and does not require a credit card; which is very attractive to many of our savvy Internet consumers," commented Jeff Lininger, President of GiftCards.com. Not only does eBillme offer a secure, credit card free payment option for purchasing gift cards, it allows GiftCards.com to offer the extremely popular VirtualGift. The VirtualGift is a gift card that can be sent via e-mail. Currently, customers must use eBillme to purchase the VirtualGift because of the added security measures the service has to offer. "We are thrilled to be able to offer the VirtualGift and eBillme certainly helps with this process," continued Lininger.
Offering $25 off of gift cards will certainly increase the continued adoption rate of eBillme on GiftCards.com. Paying through your secure checking account online is hassle free and enables consumers to feel safer while shopping on the Internet. GiftCards.com is pleased to offer eBillme and looks forward to its continued success on their site and thousands more.
