PITTSBURGH, PA — GiftYa, the brainchild of Telos Gifting, LLC, and an innovative app/website reinventing the gift card industry, now enables gift recipients to link their GiftYa e-gifts to their Visa® or Mastercard®. This remodeling of transactions empowers a seamless redemption for GiftYa partner merchant locations, which now exceed 5,000. GiftYa is now the only company in the space offering a gift product using Visa and Mastercard, making this seamless technology for both consumers and merchants alike.

GiftYa is a gift credit service that allows users to send eGifts to one another using a mobile phone app or web interface. The recipient connects the eGift to their Visa or Mastercard, which makes it impossible for the gift to ever be lost, stolen, or lose value. GiftYa has reinvented gifting, making it easier and better than ever before. Since its inception in 2018, GiftYa has allowed gift-givers to text thoughtful gifts to their friends and loved ones, from the convenience of their smartphones, regardless of the size or location of any merchant across the country.

“GiftYa is simple – it literally requires nothing of us as a brand – no training, implementation, or cost – and it’s redeemed in store using the cards people already carry with them,” says Crafton Bryant IV, Director of Marketing for Metro Diner. “Plain and simple: I can easily send gifts (that will actually be used) to friends and family for their favorite spot. I’m talking literally any store; local or nationwide. Pizza joint, ice cream shop, shoe store, you name it,” hails another happy customer.

For merchants, this opens a new revenue channel as it allows any merchant in the country, no matter how small or large, to offer a Visa and Mastercard compatible gift product with zero integration, time, or cost involved. Not to forget that this accomplishment levels the playing field for millions of small and medium merchants regardless of whether they can afford a gift card offer.

“It’s been a long time coming, but we’re very excited to change the game by giving consumers an easy and safe option to send personalized gifts to any friend or relative for any merchant anywhere in the country,” said GiftYa founder and CEO, Jason Wolfe. “Until now, consumers were limited to picking among 50 or 100 national chain merchants to send a gift,” he continued, “now they can send an e-gift to their friends’ favorite campus tattoo parlor or neighborhood bed and breakfast from their smartphones.”
