Topguest Powers New United MileagePlus and Continental OnePass Mobile-Social Commerce & Loyalty Product
Topguest's new white label social loyalty SaaS product now enables MileagePlus® and OnePass® members to earn award miles and special offers, simply for sharing with their social networks.
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 15, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Topguest, the leader in social loyalty, has joined with United Continental Holdings' (NYSE: UAL) award winning MileagePlus loyalty program, to launch a new service through which frequent flyers may receive special, personalized offers and award miles each time they use Facebook and Foursquare to share their location at U.S. airports.
MileagePlus and OnePass members can activate this Mobile Social Commerce & Loyalty product by visiting http://mileageplus.topguest.com or http://onepass.topguest.com from their mobile or web browser and connecting their Facebook or Foursquare account. Thereafter, when members share their location at any participating airport using Facebook or Foursquare's existing functionality, they will receive real-time, special personalized offers for immediate use – including dining offers for nearby restaurants, car rental offers in their destination city for last minute travel, and the ability to earn extra bonus miles for shopping at participating in-airport merchants. Members will also earn 50 award miles for their eligible social check-ins.
Initial personalized offer partners include over 10,000 restaurants participating in MileagePlus Dining(SM), hundreds of merchants at the Denver, Houston Bush Intercontinental, New York/Newark Liberty, and San Francisco airports, Avis Car Rental, and Hertz Rent-A-Car. United expects to add additional offers in 2012. With each of these personalized offers, the member can earn additional award miles for completing a transaction with the participating merchant.
The launch of the product marks the largest implementation of Topguest's new White Label SaaS product to date.
