PORTLAND, OR - PayRange has announced that it will host a contest to help vending patrons celebrate National Vending Day on March 7, which is being organized  by the National Automatic Merchandising Association. The contest gives consumers the chance to win one of thousands of prizes, ranging from product discounts to free vends for a year.

PayRange explained that vending customers will have two ways to enter the contest.

NAMA is organizing Vending Day as a celebration for the millions of Americans who buy their snacks, beverages and non-consumable items from a vending machine every day. It's a point in time to recognize vending and the value it provides to millions of consumers around the clock, every day.

PayRange transactions are conducted by means of an economical Bluetooth transceiver, the BluKey, that easily installs inline between the vending machine's payment system and control board. Patrons download a mobile app, available for iOS and Android smartphones, to make their vending purchases from the PayRange-enabled machine. PayRange supports loyalty programs, provides exclusive offers and accommodates funding options including all major cards as the Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Masterpass "wallets." It's finding wide application across businesses running unattended points of sale -- not only vending but also amusement, self-service laundry and a variety of retail merchants.

GETTING THE WORD: PayRange is supporting the National Automatic Merchandising Association's 2019 Vending Day program with a contest for customers using PayRange  for their vending purchases.
