LevelUp Doubles City Footprint -- Launches in Atlanta, Chicago, San Diego and Seattle

CAMBRIDGE, MA--(Marketwire - Feb 16, 2012) - Four cities is good. Eight cities is better. Today, LevelUp is doubling its footprint and rolling out full-throttle in four new cities: Atlanta, Chicago, San Diego and Seattle!

"The demand for LevelUp to expand has been deafening since Day One. And we're delighted to now be planting roots in four amazing cities that are rapidly becoming major tech hubs," said Seth Priebatsch, Chief Ninja at SCVNGR (LevelUp's parent company). "LevelUp is proud to be making a permanent home in each of these cities and we can't wait to be a part of the local ecosystem, both as a local tech-startup and as a great platform to help local businesses thrive."

LevelUp is now available at the first merchants in Atlanta, Chicago, San Diego and Seattle, bringing consumers an easy way to pay with their phones and save time and money.

And, as a sweet bonus, users in those four cities can sign up with a special promo code and get $10 to spend at any business on LevelUp:

• Atlantians, use promo code: ATLANTA
• Seattlites (is that right?), use promo code: SEATTLE
• Chicago-ians (?!), use promo code: CHICAGO
• Residents of San Diego (we give up), use promo code: SANDIEGO
