NYPAY Presents “The Future of Loyalty and Rewards”

Loyalty and rewards have been key drivers of consumer spending for decades, but the way they are configured, delivered and who pays for them is changing. NYPAY, New York Payments Forum, is convening its next networking event in mid-June focusing on the changing rewards and loyalty environment in financial services. NYPAY has invited senior-level executives representing a major US bank, a leading merchant, a well-respected analyst and a leading edge rewards provider to contribute to a discussion on what they are seeing today in the loyalty landscape and what we can expect to see in the future. NYPAY invites all those involved in the payments business to join the conversation that will spur new thinking and offer the chance to connect with other financial service and loyalty colleagues.

“The Future of Loyalty and Rewards” will take place on Monday, June 13, 2011 with the event beginning at 5:30 PM. Attendance is limited to members of NYPAY and may register on LinkedIn. Members then may register for the event. Space is limited – so NYPAY highly recommends any interested members to register soon.
