I just wanted to post a release I sent out this morning.   

Put Your Tax Refund to Good Use at GiftCards.com

Pittsburgh, PA –March 18, 2008 – March Madness starts this week and it really is a good description of how busy this time of year can get.   Before sitting down to watch Duke, Memphis, or Pitt battle for the NCAA Basketball Championship, keep in mind that tax day is right around the corner.  With April 15^th looming, GiftCards.com wants to offer an idea for putting tax refunds to good use.

Spring arrives this week and kicks off another busy time for gift-giving.  Warm thoughts will be sent for Mother’s Day, caps will be flying for graduation, and love will be in the air as wedding season approaches.  

Using your tax refund to purchase gift cards online will help you get ahead before you become too busy to shop.   These thoughtful gifts are accepted everywhere that Visa is and provides your recipient the same flexibility as cash.

President of GiftCards.com, Jeff Lininger, knows how crazy this time of year can be for millions of Americans rushing to file their taxes.  Lininger was a former executive for Jackson Hewitt Tax Service, one of the largest tax preparation services companies, and has seen the incredible number of individuals who file their taxes in the last few weeks before they are due.  “Getting ahead is not always an option.  This time of year can be extremely hectic for many.”      

GiftCards.com wants to help in making your shopping experience quick and easy with personalized Visa gift cards.  Start planning and shopping now with your tax return for gifts you know you will need this coming spring and summer.  Shopping at GiftCards.com is convenient and will save you time.   Whether you need a gift for graduation, a birthday, or an end of the year gift for a teacher, GiftCards.com offers many different styles of gift cards that can all be personalized to ensure the recipient will think of the gift giver every time they spend their gift card.   

Maybe you just blog here, but if you have other blogs or a Web site you could become a GiftCards.com affiliate.  Becoming an affiliate at GiftCards.com can help you make some money without doing much of anything.  It also does not cost anything to join.  If you think that you could encourage the visitors to your site to purchase Visa brand gift cards with a simple banner link or text link, then I suggest looking into the GiftCards.com affiliate program.  Feel free to comment to this post with any questions you may have and I would be more than happy to speak with you about the details and explain the program in more depth. 

With the biggest shopping day of the year being only a couple of days away, will everyone be heading to the malls?  Why not take advantage of all of the deals that will be offered online this week and next.  The National Retail Federation reports that nearly three-fourths of e-merchants will be offering a special deal this year on Cyber Monday.  GiftCards.com is one of those merchants and is still offering $25 off orders over $100 when a customer uses eBillme to pay.  Instead of waiting in those long lines and wasting your time, shop easily online this year.  Giving a Visa gift card from GiftCards.com is giving the recipient the gift of choice.  They can shop wherever and whenever they want.  If they want to take advantage of the after holiday sales, they can.  

GiftCards.com, LLC is pleased to announce the addition of Jeff Lininger as President.  With the announcement of Lininger, GiftCards.com continues to announce exciting news on a consistent basis. 

Jason Wolfe, CEO of GiftCards.com, LLC commented, “Our key initiatives this year including our fulfillment center build out, our customer service center addition, CardTrack launch, and international expansion meant that the CEO and President roles needed to be split to fully realize our vision for the company.”

Lininger brings over 20 years of extensive knowledge in business and corporate development, strategic planning, product and brand management, operations, marketing, and sales.  He was formerly with Jackson Hewitt Tax Service Inc., serving as Vice President of Business Development.  His past expertise as an executive, not only with Jackson Hewitt, but also with Reliant Energy and Compaq Computer Corporation(currently HP), will provide GiftCards.com with the continued leadership and knowledge in the rapidly growing prepaid gift card industry.     

With the growth that GiftCards.com is continuing to undergo, the addition of Jeff Lininger as President will serve as a key piece in evolution of the number one Visa gift card provider.
