Loopt Checkins Can Get You Two-for-One Tickets to Mexico on Virgin America

• Aug 31, 2010 from mashable(Mashable) in *
  Social-media savvy airline Virgin America, which used Twitter to announce its expansion to Toronto, is making use of location-based rewards network Loopt Star to draw attention to its next international expansion: Mexico.Virgin America will be running non-stop flights from San Francisco (SFO) to Cabo (SJD) and from Los Angeles (LAX) to Cancun (CUN) beginning this winter. In addition to special three-day fare sale, Loopt Star members can check in at select locations in San Francisco and Los Angeles to get a free ticket for a friend when they purchase one ticket for themselves today. This is how it works:Loopt Star members can check in at LAX, SFO or at one of the special Virgin America taco trucks between 11:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. PT today.You check in using the Loopt Star iPhone app, so download the app if you dont have it already (its free).In addition to two-for-one fares to Mexico, the taco truck will also be offering two-for-one tacos for $1. All proceeds will go to the San Francisco Animal Care and Control Chihuahua rescue program.The LA taco truck will be at the Border Grill at 7060 Hollywood Boulevard.In San Francisco, the taco truck will be at Los Campadres at 100 Folsom Street.Reward Space Evolving FastAs competition in the geolocation marketing space heats up, companies are ramping up the value of rewards they offer to users of these location-based services.What started as free coffee for Starbucks Mayors has evolved into discounts on clothing, discounts on mobile phones and now discounts on airline tickets.Loopt is really upping the ante with this Virgin America promotion; we expect this will drive a wave of new signups in the San Francisco and Los Angeles areas.Fighting Hard for DistinctionAs we said earlier this spring, we think that the ideas behind Loopt Star are solid. By acting as a digital loyalty card program and using Facebook as its social graph, the service was actually a bit ahead of the curve.However, now that Facebook Places makes it easier for other geolocation services to tap into Facebook, and as the rewards space gets hyper-competitive, Loopt and its sub-brands like Loopt Star need to continue to fight for distinction.A great way to do that is by partnering with socially savvy companies like Virgin America and to offer value-driven rewards.What do you think of this latest promotion?
