Hot on the heels of our post about Mogl in December, we’ve stumbled on another company rewarding consumers for their restaurant purchases. The company is called Plink and they’re targeting some of the biggest chains in America. Just like Mogl, you sign up on the site and link your debit and credit cards to your account. Then you go to your nearest Taco Bell and buy some Chalupas. In turn you’re rewarded with Facebook credits which you can go spend all willy-nilly on Farmville or whatever it is people do with their credits.
Upon first visiting the site the initial perception was that this was a Groupon spin-off. The site design and logo all reek of Groupon’s dirty paws, but after a little digging it was discovered that these guys are self funded. So that’s pretty cool.
Considering Plink has signed both the number one convenience store and coffee chains in America you can expect that as long as they can get their critical mass of a user base up quickly enough, they’ll go far with this venture.
