Title: [2015-12-16]Airbitz launches US-wide Bitcoin Starbucks campaign
Post by: kori on December 16, 2015, 09:16:28 AM
Airbitz, the bitcoin security specialist, has launched a US-wide Starbucks campaign offering a 20% discount on coffee using its app, helping to drive bitcoin adoption in the process.

To kick off Airbitz integration with Fold app, the company has made some Starbucks-inspired aprons and enlisted street teams to distribute over 100,000 flyers outside coffee shops in the coming weeks.

Airbitz said saving money is a great way to encourage people to use bitcoin, adding that discounts can also be had at other retailers including Target and Whole Foods.

Paul Puey, CEO of Airbitz, said in a blog post: "We are excited to announce that we've integrated Fold into our app! Now, you can buy gift cards for Starbucks and Target within the app in the same tab where you can buy and sell bitcoin through Glidera.
