Eat and Play Card Launches "Companion App" to Compliment Destination Savings Card 

(TRAVPR.COM) USA - October 29th, 2014 - Ottawa, ON Eat and Play Card is excited to announce the launch of a new mobile app for Apple iOS and Android phones.  A “companion app” to the popular Eat and Play Card, it provides card holders visiting Orlando and New York with new and easy access to program and destination information previously impossible with only a small credit-card like product, and in the process will help people save more than ever on their in-destination vacation expenses such as dining and entertainment. 

With the new app, Eat and Play Card holders can now: 

• Search for participating merchants by category or area
• View merchant descriptions, offers, price ranges and websites
• Locate merchants with interactive maps
• Mark favorites, take notes and access social media
• Frame souvenir pictures with the fun “OrlandoCam” and “NYCam” 

“The travel industry can often be slow to adopt new technologies,” says Larry Raubach, co-founder and Director of Marketing & Partner Development.  “We are amongst the first in our space to offer this kind of electronic mobile solution, to what has always been only a physical product,” he says. “We trust our travel trade partners will see as much value as our card holders.” 

In-destination vacation expenses such as dining, entertainment and shopping can often outstrip the travel component of a vacation’s total expense, yet typically travel agents and tour operators can’t monetize those expenses because they happen after the fact, or post booking.  Commissionable or available at industry best net rates, Eat and Play Card was developed to be the solution that saves travelers money on those often heavy expenses, while helping add value to travel agents and tour operators businesses.
