to iPhone and Android users, has taken another leap forward by introducing "Social Gifting" to its industry leading mobile gift card platform. Last week JunoWallet announced it had launched the JunoPoints loyalty program, through which JunoWallet users can earn 20 JunoPoints or more every time they check into a Foursquare merchant (retailer, restaurant, and so forth) who has "GoneLive" with the JunoPoints program. When a user accumulates 10,000 JunoPoints at that specific "Live" merchant, they earn a $100.00 gift card from the venue using those JunoPoints honored at that venue for all purchases. With its JunoPoints program, JunoWallet has monetized Foursquare check-ins and added a social gifting environment for consumers to engage with merchants around a loyalty program with tangible rewards.Merchants can "GoLive" by going to the dashboard at www.junowallet.com or by contacting Cindy Kurman at (312) 651-9000 or cindy@junowallet.com.
Now, with the new JunoWallet version 6.1, JunoWallet users can "gift" their JunoPoints to other JunoWallet users and vice versa, helping each other to earn their $100 gift cards much sooner. "It is the first ever loyalty program that allows and encourages users to share and trade JunoPoints to help their friends get to the promised reward. Now users can actually get the carrot associated with a loyalty program instead of just chasing it-and their friends can help," said Chris Sweis, Chief Mobile Officer. "We hope to create a dynamic Social Gifting environment where friends are monetizing their loyalty and using JunoPoints to earn gift cards from their favorite venues."
For example, if an out of town visitor to Chicago checks into a "live" Chicago coffee shop to buy a morning cup of Joe, he or she will earn 20 JunoPoints by checking in via Foursquare or JunoWallet. However, since the traveler may travel to Chicago only infrequently, he or she may not accumulate enough JunoPoints to earn the $100 gift card. Now, the traveler can "gift" those JunoPoints to a Chicago friend who can accumulate enough points to get the $100 gift card.
Similarly, the Chicago friend can return the favor by "gifting back" JunoPoints that the traveler could use back home at a "live" merchant.The new social gifting capability also means that friends can team up to share a tangible reward. They could, for example, choose a "designated JunoPoint recipient" and send all of their individually earned JunoPoints at a particular "live" venue, such as a restaurant, to that designated recipient, keeping the process going until that person has 10,000 JunoPoints. Then they can all go to the restaurant together to share in the $100 gift card reward. "It will become a peer-to-peer activity that pays off in real rewards and reinforces the concepts of brand engagement and community," explained Sweis. "That's what Social Gifting is all about."
