USConnect Releases Payment And Loyalty App For Its Vending Machines Micromarkets

GREENSBORO, NC -- Making its debut for iPhones and Androids is the USConnectMe app, a loyalty and rewards program offered in conjunction with USConnect's cashless payment system. USConnect, a consortium of independent vending companies, already offers the program and services on its USConnectMe card. The app is said to be more convenient and customizable.

USConnectMe app users can redeem exclusive promotions and earn and redeem rewards points. They can also make purchases by scanning an app-enabled phone at USConnect's vending machines, micromarkets and cafeterias.

App users can also access healthy food choice options and informational videos onscreen through USConnect's "The Right Choice for a Healthier You" program. And they can opt to directly support a charity of their choice (1.5% of each purchase goes to charity). Additionally, the app allows users to check their USConnectMe account balances; add funds to their accounts; view transaction histories; and edit account profiles.

"The new USConnectMe app brings together our industry-leading rewards program with the convenience of instant payment and account access," said USConnect chief executive Jeff Whitacre. "This puts the power of our nationwide, integrated wireless foodservice platform directly into the hands of the end users."
