WASHINGTON, Sept. 22, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Newly integrated
with UATP, Givex is now able to provide its platform, including
gift cards, to airlines across the world. Givex has just signed
major carrier Delta Air Lines to use this platform. The partnership
between UATP and Givex expands airlines' offerings to meet customer
demand for additional payment options.
Gift cards, already a $124 billion
per year industry, are the preferred gift for today's
consumers. Now airlines will have the capability to redeem
gift cards for goods sold onboard the plane, in airport terminals,
ancillaries or towards airline tickets themselves.
"UATP recognized that Givex's global presence, dynamic currency
conversion capabilities and their ease in working in multiple
languages would suit our international client list. We also saw
that their expertise in technology and over 15 years of experience
would make them a reliable and resourceful partner," said
Ralph Kaiser, president and CEO,
UATP.
"UATP's expansive Network provides Givex with opportunities to
quickly connect with all major airlines for gift cards.
Airlines can drive sales and modernize purchasing methods via Givex
products, making buying and gifting their products and services a
breeze," said Debbi Blackburn, VP
Business Development of Givex.

world's airlines. Givex is the expert in gift cards and stored
value tickets (as well as loyalty and POS). Together Givex
