Blaze Mobile, Tetherball team up for mobile payment & coupon solution

Tuesday, December 15, 2009

Blaze Mobile and Tetherball customers now have the ability to redeem mobile rewards and coupons, as well as make purchases using their mobile phones.

Blaze Mobile users can sign up for a loyalty program that grants them access to offers from Tetherball on their mobile phones from major retailers like Dairy Queen. To redeem the offer, the customer simply holds their cell phone, equipped with Blaze Sticker on the back, near the POS device at the check out stand. Once the offer is validated, the customer holds their cell phone near the POS device once again to pay for their purchase. [end]
