About 6 months ago, Slide sent out a survey to some users with a number of different questions about the app. Some of those related to if they’d like the ability to purchase gift cards from Slide’s website rather than only in their app.
They’d presumably already been working on that functionality and just wanted to verify that there was indeed some kind of demand for it because they’ve announced today that they’ll soon be launching the ability to buy gift cards from GetSlide.com.
I love this development because I find it much easier to buy gift cards on my laptop versus cellphone when it comes to moving the card details over to my tracking spreadsheet as copying and pasting is faster.
A specific date when this will be going live hasn’t been provided, but I suspect it’ll be at some point in the next couple of weeks, perhaps even going live as early as tomorrow seeing as it’s October 1 and thus the start of Q4.
Slide has also teased that there’ll be a special offer to celebrate, so I’ll post about that once we know what it is. Now, if only they could reinstate their affiliate program so that we can earn bonus cashback via shopping portals.
Surely a lack of website was driving much lower purchase volume the last two months
