Hibbett Expands Payment Flexibility With New Holiday Shopping Options
Athletic retailer Hibbett, Inc. has announced the addition of Affirm and Afterpay to its lineup of payment options, enhancing its omnichannel shopping experience. The move provides customers with more flexible payment options for their favorite athleisure and sneaker styles, both online and in-store. The addition of Affirm and Afterpay expands Hibbett’s Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) offerings, which already include Klarna. These services allow qualified shoppers to divide purchases into smaller, interest-free payments over time rather than paying in full up front. Affirm offers clear, predictable payments with no late or hidden fees, while Afterpay provides four interest-free installments or monthly plans without hard credit checks. Together, these flexible options make budgeting for gifts and footwear easier for shoppers during the holiday season and beyond.
Hibbett CIO Bill Quinn said, “We are excited about the new payment partnerships we have added to give shoppers some more flexibility this holiday season. We are continuously looking for ways to improve customer shopping experiences, especially during the holiday season.”
In addition to the new payment methods, Hibbett continues to enhance its overall shopping experience through a variety of customer-focused services. Shoppers can enjoy fast delivery through Clutch Delivery options like same-day service via DoorDash and Uber Eats, as well as free rewards through Hibbett Rewards. The retailer also offers exclusive features such as a Sneaker Release Calendar, Hibbett Kids selections, and a mobile app for convenient browsing and purchasing.

Venmo Enhances the Rewards Program Experience With the Launch of Venmo Stash
Venmo has unveiled Venmo Stash, a new, always-active rewards program designed to give customers greater value with every transaction. Unlike traditional loyalty programs, Venmo Stash adapts and grows alongside users, rewarding engagement across Venmo’s expanding ecosystem of financial products. The new initiative marks a significant step in Venmo’s transformation from a peer-to-peer payment app into a broader digital commerce platform that incentivizes users to spend, save, and manage their money more efficiently.
PayPal General Manager of Consumer, Diego Scotti, said, “Traditional rewards programs make customers work for points they may never use. Venmo Stash flips that model, rewarding spending and money management habits our customers have already built with Venmo. Our cash back multiplier allows us to grow adoption and usage of our different products and recognize our customers for doing more with more value back to them.”
Through Venmo Stash, customers can earn up to 5% cash back on Venmo Debit Card purchases with top retailers, restaurants, and on-demand services tailored to their lifestyle. Rewards start at 1% cash back for everyday debit card spending and increase to 2% when users enable auto reloads, ensuring their balance stays funded automatically. The maximum 5% cash back tier is unlocked when customers receive monthly direct deposits of $500 or more, with all rewards deposited directly into their Venmo balance for flexible use. Looking ahead, Venmo plans to expand Stash in 2026 to include even more ways to earn, including purchases made with Venmo at participating merchants nationwide.

Pizza Hut Brings Back the Triple Treat Box to Make the Holidays Even Merrier
The holidays are getting a festive boost as Pizza Hut brings back its iconic Triple Treat Box, a fan-favorite tradition designed to make every gathering feel like a celebration. The special holiday box includes two medium one-topping pizzas, five breadsticks, and a choice of dessert, all wrapped in limited-edition holiday packaging that turns any get-together into a party. This year, Pizza Hut is upping the cheer with extra surprises, including a live reindeer appearance, a festive pizza-themed holiday sweater created with Tipsy Elves, and a new interactive white elephant game built right into the packaging.
Pizza Hut CMO Melissa Friebe said, “The Triple Treat Box has become a staple for those who go big on the holidays. This year, we wanted to give people even more ways to holiday harder with our Triple Treat Box that’s designed to infuse more fun into holiday gatherings so your pizza party memories are sure to be passed around the group chat.”
Pizza Hut is also continuing its spirited partnership with Pepsi and NFL quarterback Josh Allen, who stars in this year’s campaign, encouraging fans to “holiday harder.” In the humorous ads, Allen sports the same limited-edition Tipsy Elves pizza sweater available to customers while enjoying the return of the Triple Treat Box. The brand’s playful commercials even feature a dad who goes all-out by bringing a live reindeer to his family’s holiday party. Adding even more excitement, the new Triple Treat Box packaging doubles as a scannable white elephant game that unlocks exclusive rewards such as promo codes, gift cards, and free menu items. To spread the cheer even further, Pizza Hut is teaming up with iHeartRadio’s Jingle Ball and Bucketlisters, sending fans to holiday events across the country and hosting festive pop-ups at Holly Jolly Bars. The Triple Treat Box is available now for a limited time at participating Pizza Hut locations nationwide, so pizza lovers can savor the season one slice at a time.
