DubLi's Announces Initial Results of Xpress Gift Card Reverse Auction

BOCA RATON, Fla., Aug. 16, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- MediaNet Group Technologies, Inc. (OTCQB: MEDG), a global shopping and entertainment community, today announced that early indications of its DubLi Xpress Gift Card Reverse Auctions have been favorable.

Since launching the new Gift Card Auctions on May 11, 2011, DubLi customers have purchased over 16,000 Gift Cards, of which almost 9,000 were purchased during the month of July alone.

Michael Hansen, President and Chief Executive Officer stated, "We are excited with the acceptance of our Gift Card concept.  Our goal in creating this new type of shopping application, allowed us to put discretionary spending decisions back into the hands of consumers and we are encouraged by the demand we are realizing from our global customers.  The DubLi model was built on a foundation of providing global shopping and entertainment alternatives, supported at a localized level by the depth and breadth of DubLi Network.  In addition, we are experiencing increasing demand from our customers to provide even greater everyday shopping opportunities through our new shopping mall platform which we intend to further develop and improve as we enter fiscal 2012."

In conjunction with the launch of the New Xpress Gift Card auctions, DubLi announced a new eWallet system, powered by Paylution, which enables DubLi to transfer gift card funds, cash back rebates and Business Associate earnings electronically to its customers and network associates around the world, while also offering a wider variety of choices for recipients to access and use their funds. The Company is seeing organic growth from users who are keeping their money within the system and spending more on DubLi products and services.

Consumers around the world bid on six different Gift Card categories, concurrently. Each time a consumer bids on a Gift Card, the current price of that Gift Card is revealed and its price, simultaneously, is lowered by 0.20 (USD, AUD or Euro.) Successful bidders may purchase the Gift Card for the displayed price and then use the proceeds to purchase goods and services from virtually anywhere they choose including the DubLi Shopping Malls. Consumers who wish to participate in the new Xpress Gift Card auctions must first register for the DubLi VIP Member package, a complete access pass to everything DubLi.

The Company also announced that on July 22, 2011, it launched a new DubLi Australian Shopping Mall under a new platform.
