Source: Viggle, Inc.
Viggle (VGGL),
creator of the entertainment marketing platform that rewards users for
watching TV and listening to music, has launched a partnership with
RewardsPay® (www.rewardspay.com),
an innovative payment platform that enables frictionless redemption of
loyalty and rewards points at online merchants, giving Viggle users
the opportunity to use their Viggle points towards purchases of goods
from popular online retailers. As a result of this partnership, Viggle
Points can be used outside the Viggle app for the first time as a
currency for retail purchases.
The partnership with RewardsPay, gives Viggle users the opportunity to
shop, at leading online retailers that sell a range of products
including furniture, rugs, bedding, electronics, clothing jewelry, and
more.
RewardsPay is a
streamlined consumer payment service that allows Viggle users to use
Viggle points to securely purchase goods and services from some of the
world’s leading online merchants. Viggle users can transform the points
they’ve accumulated to buy nearly any type of goods or service from
top online retail brands across a wide variety of shopping categories
including clothing, electronics, books, music, home improvement and
more.
“We’re excited to work with
Viggle and to be able to offer Viggle users the opportunity to shop for
a broad array of items using their Viggle points,” said Anu Shukla,
Founder & CEO of RewardsPay. “Viggle’s commitment to rewarding
their users’ loyalty by providing such a diverse variety of redemption
options is inspiring. We’re honored to deliver a simple yet innovative
new way of enjoying Viggle.”
Shopping with RewardsPay is simple. Viggle users shop online, selecting
items and checking out as they normally would by clicking on the
RewardsPay payment button on the checkout page of a participating
merchant’s website. Viggle users decide how much of their payment they
want to make using Viggle points, and RewardsPay facilitates a real-time
transaction that draws the points from the user’s account.
“Viggle users will soon be able
to use Viggle Points at participating retailers’ websites,” said Greg
Consiglio, president and COO of Viggle. “Now the time they spent
watching TV can become even more rewarding because the RewardsPay
platform gives Viggle users the flexibility to use their points to
purchase everything from electronics to home furnishings. It’s yet
another way Viggle is adding value to our program and listening to what
our users actually want.”
Viggle users will continue to be able to browse the extensive
collection of redeemable movie, television and music options that are
available to members of the Viggle entertainment marketing platform

watching videos. Since its launch, Viggle members have redeemed over
