Linkable Networks and Lyfepoints Partner To Reduce Consumers’ Monthly Bills
Members Now Able to Seamlessly Apply Savings Towards Utility Payments
Boston, MA. — (April 9, 2013) – Linkable Networks, the leading card linked offer platform, and Lyfepoints, a service that converts consumers’ spending into the direct reduction of utility bills, today announced a partnership that will enable consumers to lower their monthly utility payments by applying card-linked savings. Money saved with “Linkables,” digital coupons loaded directed onto a consumer’s debit or credit card, can now be used as Lyfepoints credits to reduce heat, electricity, natural gas, mobile phone service and cable television utility bills. Linkable Networks reaches more than 200 million U.S. consumers each month and Lyfepoints credits can be applied to bills from every utility company across North America.
The process is simple and dependable. Linkable Networks’ customers will now have the option to use their discounts or savings as Lyfepoints credits, which can be applied directly to their utility bills. If Linkable Networks customers choose to use their savings as Lyfepoints, the credits will be sent directly to the customers’ Lyfepoints account and can be applied towards utility bills at the time of payment.
“This partnership with Lyfepoints means we are able to offer our customers another easy and seamless option to save,” said Doug Spear, EVP and Co-Founder Linkable Networks. “Energy costs are at an all-time high, while other living expenses and taxes continue to rise. We are happy to now offer our customers a way to reduce those costs.”
“We are thrilled to have Linkable Networks on board to help customers lower their monthly utility expenses,” said Paul Harkins, CEO of Lyfepoints. “Consumers spend more than $64 billion annually on their utilities, so we are pleased to provide individuals and families with a method to cut those costs through everyday spending.”
