CANTON, Mass., June 8, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Dunkin' Donuts
today officially announced the launch of its newest mobile payment
option for guests, integrating Visa Checkout on DunkinDonuts.com
and within the Dunkin' Mobile® App as a fast and easy way to
purchase and reload virtual Dunkin' Donuts Cards.
As part of a new, co-branded campaign titled "Get Stuff
Dunkin'," the two companies announced that today through
June 14, or while supplies last*,
they are offering people a special $10 bonus when they load at least $25 on a new or existing Dunkin' Donuts Card
using Visa Checkout, limit one per customer. The campaign will
feature actor Joel McHale, who is on
a crusade against wasted time and shares how Visa Checkout can help
busy people get time back in their day that they can use to "Get
Stuff Dunkin'."
"I'm a busy guy," McHale said. "So I don't have time to fumble
with a wallet or bulky paper currency. When I heard I could pay for
Dunkin' Donuts coffee using Visa Checkout on the Dunkin' app, I
said, 'Thank you, technology!' Technology hasn't replied yet.
Apparently that technology doesn't exist yet."
Launched by Visa less than a year ago, Visa Checkout is an
online check out service designed to simplify the payment
experience. It can be accessed using any web-enabled mobile device,
and can store any major credit or debit card, so that consumers
don't have to re-enter billing and shipping information.
"As a brand recognized for speed of service and meeting the
needs of on-the-go people, we are committed to leveraging the best
technologies to allow our guests to purchase Dunkin' Donuts food
and beverages as quickly and conveniently as possible," said
Scott Hudler, Vice President, Global
Consumer Engagement at Dunkin' Brands. "Visa Checkout gives us yet
another powerful way to save our guests valuable time in their busy
day, and make it easier than ever to keep running on Dunkin'."
"Dunkin' Donuts and Visa Checkout are a perfect match – you can
now literally have a cup of Dunkin' coffee in one hand and pay for
it using Visa Checkout with the other," said Sam Shrauger, Visa's senior vice president of
digital solutions. "We're thrilled to kick off this partnership and
help Dunkin' guests 'Get Stuff Dunkin'' faster and from anywhere in
just a few clicks."

bonus on Dunkin' Donuts Cards purchased with Visa Checkout, visit
