Alternative payment provider offers online merchants special gas promotion for customers who checkout with eBillme

WILMINGTON, Del. (Business Wire EON/PRWEB ) July 2, 2008 -- The pain at the pump is not easing. But now e-tailers can offer some relief to customers with the eBillme™ Gas Card promotion, which kicked-off on July 1^st and will run until September 30^th. eBillme, the alternative payment provider that brings online banking to the eCommerce checkout, will be giving away free Gas Cards valued at $10 for purchases of $50 or more and $20 for purchases of $100 and more. All online shoppers who are first time eBillme users are eligible to receive the Gas Cards. The promotion is available on participating eBillme merchant sites and is available to new merchants who sign-up with eBillme during the Gas Card Promotional period.

We know the impact of the rising gas prices, especially during the summer vacation months

The eBillme process is fast and easy to use. Online shoppers simply select eBillme at checkout when completing their orders. An eBill, or electronic invoice, is e-mailed to the customer confirming the purchase, and provides instructions on paying the eBill through online banking. Consumers then log on to their bank’s Web site, and pay the invoice through available funds in their checking or savings account. Following the purchase, consumers can visit the Gas Card Promotion page on the eBillme website to submit the short form to receive the free Gas Card. Customers will have the opportunity to select a Gas Card from Shell, ExxonMobil, or Chevron. *

“We know the impact of the rising gas prices, especially during the summer vacation months,” says Marwan Forzley, President and CEO of eBillme. “We wanted to offer a special promotion for retailers to give their customers some economic help to ease this burden while giving them the opportunity to try secure cash checkout with eBillme. Our payment option offers consumers a way to shop online with increased protection and without interest fees which leads to higher average order values, more first-time buyers, and more repeat business for merchants.”

Because shoppers pay directly from their online bank account with eBillme, they don’t release any financial information online. This helps consumers manage their spending and debt, while better safeguarding themselves from identity theft and fraud risks. eBillme’s buyer protection program takes security a step further. Provided at no cost to shoppers and retailers, the buyer protection features have the same or a better level of buyer protection than premium credit cards. Protection features include a return guarantee, price guarantee, in-transit protection, and fraud protection. Consumers can shop with confidence knowing their eBillme transaction is guaranteed and protected.

The Gas Card promotion is available at participating eBillme merchants. New merchants who launch eBillme before September 30^th are also eligible for the promotional offering.
