For the Fifth Year National Gift Card Supports Earth Day with Donation to Arbor Day Foundation

CRYSTAL LAKE, Ill., May 5, 2015 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- For the fifth year in a row, National Gift Card Corp. (NGC), has sponsored a special promotion to support green efforts and Earth Day (April 22) with a donation to the Arbor Day Foundation. This year, as one of the leading suppliers of incentive and loyalty gift cards, NGC announced that a portion of all digital gift card orders that were placed on Wednesday, April 22, were earmarked for the Arbor Day Foundation.

"We like to think of ourselves as a company that is always concerned about the environment both domestically and internationally," said NGC President Adam Van Witzenburg. "By offering the ngceCodes program and our Gift Card API, we provide an attractive, green alternative with the same variety, flexibility and customization as traditional plastic gift cards. Since introducing ngceCodes in 2010 and the Gift Card API in 2014, the interest for this environmentally friendly option is quickly increasing." He added that the Arbor Day Foundation's tree planting efforts in the U.S. and its Rain Forest Rescue®^, abroad makes it a natural choice for NGC's charitable program.

Van Witzenburg went on to explain that last fall's launch of the company's proprietary gift card API with more than 200 national retailers also allows B2B program buyers and clients in the loyalty, rewards, incentive, benefit and membership industries to quickly integrate with NCG's gift card catalog and send digital eCodes in real time to program participants for yet another "green" option.

Noting that NGC's digital gift cards are as easy to use as traditional gift cards both online or at retail establishments, he added that customers can even purchase ngceCodes through the company's fast and secure online-ordering system: ngcdirect.
