In an apparent effort to step up their competition against Starbucks, Dunkin’ Donuts has released a new mobile app, allowing users to conveniently pay for their purchases using a credit card, gift card, or PayPal, as well as easily send coffee gifts to their friends!
People throughout the country can now run on Dunkin’ more quickly and conveniently than ever before by paying for their favorite Dunkin’ food and beverages using a virtual DD Card via bar code scan on iOS and Android devices. Dunkin’ Donuts also becomes the first national coffee retailer to enable people to mGift (i.e. send a virtual Dunkin’ Donuts Card to anyone, anywhere) via text, as well as email and Facebook Connect.
The virtual gifting really sets this app apart, and the fact that it also helps you find a Dunkin’ Donuts shop near you comes as an added benefit! The app is available now for free through the App Store.
