The addition allows Giftango’s 20 distribution partners, primarily in the incentive and loyalty space, to add products to their list of rewards that are instantly delivered to email and mobile devices.

Individual Incentive and Loyalty companies manage rewards programs for credit card companies, airlines, employee incentive and similar programs. Participants typically exchange the “pointsthey earn for a variety of goods and services including travel vouchers, gift cards, or merchandise. Each year, these rewards “pointsare redeemed for the gift cards of several national brands. While immensely popular, these programs often present challenges for incentive companies.
