Plink® is a Personal Savings program operated by Plink, Inc. (“Plink,” “Company,” “we” or “us”). On our technology-enabled platform, businesses take advantage of an array of data driven savings programs which help them generate incremental sales. Consumers receive personal savings when they make qualified transactions at participating Merchants using their personal credit or debit cards when linked to our Programs. Personal Savings come in a variety of forms, driven by the Merchants’ business type and what the participating Merchant chooses to offer. Personal Savings may come in the form of a discount, gift with purchase, rebate, gift cards, refunds, FancoinsTM or other forms as devised by us. Our platform serves as the facilitator between the participating Merchant and their participating consumers (“Program”).
Businesses are looking for new ways to generate interest and drive incremental purchases. We have created a platform for these businesses to generate interest by offering Personal Savings programs to their customers and potential customers. Our platform provides the infrastructure for these businesses to market Personal Savings and fulfill redemption. With our platform, businesses can provide Personal Savings to customers and communicate offers to potential new customers.
Consumers can shop, eat, and play at their favorite participating businesses and earn Personal Savings at those businesses in a frictionless system.
Start here! Provide the requested information to establish your participation and be sure to register your credit and debit cards making them eligible for the program.
We research the top businesses in each neighborhood and personally invite owners to join our platform. The current list of participating Businesses can be found here.
We leverage a new technology called "card linking" which allows us to access registered consumers’ transactions at our participating Merchants on top of the rails of the payment card network. We do not use punch cards or additional rewards trackers, but instead uses your existing credit or debit cards to track transactions and fulfill personalized offers. If consumers do not register to link their card, we have no way to confirm their transactions at our participating Merchants and we are unable to fulfill Personal Savings for these consumers. Our platform leverages technology that has been in place for decades – the credit and debit card processing networks. Through our proprietary platform and using secure data transmission, we receive transaction level data in order to match a registered consumer's card-based purchase with a participating Merchant and fulfill the offer through a seamless transaction.
We will not be able to access your transactions at our participating Merchants and you will not be able to receive Personal Savings provided by these participating Merchants.
There is no impact to any existing rewards programs or features associated with a consumer's credit or debit card. By registering your cards with us, you are simply allowing us to access your transactions made at our participating Merchants in order to fulfill the offer made by such Merchants.
We store consumer names, emails, location information and transaction data in order to operate our platform, provide offers to consumers, and fulfill Personal Savings on behalf of our participating Merchants. Personal information is stored in a secured data infrastructure. We use a PCI compliant, tokenized structure to store registered payment cards in a vaulted, non-accessible structure. The vaulted, tokenized structure is the same used by the credit card industry to secure credit card information and does not allow for any individual to access credit card numbers, but instead uses tokenized code to pass transaction information to the card payment network in a secure manner. For additional information, refer to our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.
If you would like to recommend a business to be contacted for inclusion in our Program, please send the Business Name, Address, Phone Number and Contact Person’s Name to info@plink.ai.
Fancoins are one form of Personal Savings that participating Merchants may offer. Fancoins are earned when shopping at participating Merchants and can be used to make qualified purchases in the Fanstore. The number of Fancoins earned for a qualified purchase are determined by participating Merchants.
We operate a technology platform that integrates the card processing network into its own proprietary system. We have entered into a variety of agreements to use card-linking technology to access consumer transactions made at our participating Merchants. Both Merchants and consumers affirmatively opt-in to these agreements. We have also built a sophisticated rules engine which allows participating Merchants to offer Personal Savings to registered consumers. Through our proprietary platform and using secure data transmission, we receive transaction level data in order to match a registered consumer's card-based purchase with a participating Merchant and fulfill the offer through a seamless transaction. This technology is part of what makes our platform different. There are no membership cards issued to consumers and no changes to a business's Point of Sale system.
