TORONTO, Jan. 4, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Points International Ltd.

The Corporate Platform features a centralized, easy-to-navigate interface which allows businesses to offer and distribute Best Buy Reward Zone points as rewards and incentives for both employees and loyal customers. The points can be issued using a variety of methods – directly into accounts, over email, or via redeemable codes or certificates – without the constraints of being tied to any specific form of payment.

"We are excited to be able to continuously foster and utilize our great relationships with long-standing partners like Best Buy with developments such as the Corporate Platform."
