PayMate, a mobile commerce company, has launched a new mobile gift voucher named "GiftMate", offering flexibility of use in terms of varying denominations and multiple visits to any of the PayMate merchant-partners.
According to PayMate, its voucher is highly secure, and can be safely stored within the mobile phone. It can be accessed with the help of a unique PIN via SMS. With there being no physical voucher, chances of loss or theft are almost eliminated, claims PayMate.
Also in case of traditional gift vouchers, they can be used only at select outlets, and customers need to spend the whole voucher at one go; not so "GiftMate", which can be used several number of times, and is a smarter, more efficient option, as per PayMate.
With "GiftMate" vouchers, balance amounts can be carried forward after every transaction, as against traditional vouchers, where balance amounts cannot be carried forward thus, neither can they be redeemed.
"GiftMate" vouchers can be ordered directly from PayMate's Web site. They come in the form of 4-pin unique code numbers. With the help of these code numbers, vouchers are transferred onto mobile phones and can be accessed with the help of unique PIN via SMS.
With "GiftMate", users can shop from over 3,000 online merchant-partners in various fields, including online portals, voice portals, travel services, utilities, retail outlets, electronics, apparel, tele-shopping, movie tickets, restaurants, hotels, florists, education, and more.
