Mountaineer Gift Card Launch Announced

MORGANTOWN, WV — There’s something new for West Virginia University fans to cheer about–a WVU-themed Mountaineer Gift Card!  Now, WVU fans, students and alumni can show their school spirit every time they shop. 

Morgantown Mall, Glimcher Realty Trust and NBO Systems, Inc. have partnered to issue the Mountaineer Gift Card, pursuant to a license from West Virginia University. Available in denominations from $25-$500, the Mountaineer Gift Card may be used to purchase products or services everywhere Discover® Network Cards are accepted. The Mountaineer Gift Card is now available for purchase at the Management Office at Morgantown Mall.

Mountaineer Gift Cards may also be purchased online at www.morgantownmall.com and by calling 1-877-GIFT-TO-GO (1-877-443-8864).

“We’re absolutely thrilled to bring the Mountaineer Gift Card to Morgantown.  Customers already love the convenience that comes with our mall gift cards, because recipients can use them at just about any store or any restaurant in the mall, any time.  And since the WVU fan base is particularly strong in Morgantown, we thought the pairing of the gift card features with the WVU theme would be a very popular addition to our gift card program.” said Jenny Elbon, Marketing Director at Morgantown Mall

"We are excited to partner with Glimcher and add the West Virginia University Mountaineer Gift Card to their suite of gift card products. The Mountaineer Gift Card complements Glimcher’s existing mall Gift Card program by providing an added level of choice and flexibility to the consumer." said Jared Smart, Vice President of Business Development at NBO.

Discover® Network and the Discover® Network Acceptance Mark are service marks used by MetaBank under license from Discover Financial Services LLC.
