Social rewards company Friendgift announced the launch Tuesday of FriendPay, which enables shoppers’ friends to chip in toward the cost of items they cannot afford, receiving special discounts on products, vacations, and events in return.
Needy shoppers can alert friends via Facebook, Twitter, or email when they have fallen short on items such as electronics, video games, movies, designer clothing, and accessories, and friends who chip in receive instant rewards.
In addition, shoppers can use FriendPay like “a portable, personal gift registry,” the company said, publishing their wish lists for birthdays, holidays, or other events, rather than leaving their friends and relatives guessing.
