Plink (www.plink.com), an online-to-offline rewards program, today announced the launch of its partnership with Operation Homefront (www.operationhomefront.net) benefitting military service members and their families. Operation Homefront is the prominent national nonprofit organization that provides emergency assistance and support to the families of service members and wounded warriors. Plink will make a $1 donation to Operation Homefront for each military service member that signs up for Plink. Additionally, Plink will reward each military service member with a $5 gift card.
Operation Homefront has a network of field offices that oversee thousands of volunteers across the nation and has met more than 740,000 needs for military families since 2002. Plink has committed these monetary donations to support the mission of Operation Homefront, while also rewarding military service members for dining-out and shopping offline.
Friends of Operation Homefront can sign up for their free $5 gift card at www.plink.com/military. Plink members earn rewards at more than 50,000 locations nationwide, including restaurants and retailers, such as Arby's, Burger King, Dunkin' Donuts, Regal Cinemas and Taco Bell. Travel related purchases from companies such as American Airlines, InterContinental Hotels Group, Alamo Rent A Car and Enterprise Rent-A-Car are also rewarded.
"Our service members and their families make great sacrifices every day for our freedom, and we know the American people want to reach out and help them," said Viktor Zikas, Director of Corporate Relations for Operation Homefront. "Our partnership with Plink will give people the opportunity to do just that. Our military families will benefit though Operation Homefront and directly thanks to Plink's generosity."
"It is an honor to work with an organization as dedicated as Operation Homefront and to give back, through them, to military service members and their families," said Marc Marin, chief marketing officer of Plink. "We are proud to reward our members for their loyalty while supporting such a dynamic organization which cares for our nation's heroes and their families."
