AUSTIN, TX, June 21, 2011 /PRNewswire/ - Givex, a global technology company which empowers businesses with the tools
to acquire, learn, communicate with and reward their customers,
announced today the launch of Marriott International's new gift card program.
In addition to powering The Ritz-Carlton gift cards since 2009, Givex
has drawn on many more years of experience developing and operating
global gift card programs to create a gift card solution for Marriott
that is usable across the world regardless of country or currency.
Available at participating Marriott International properties, online at

"Marriott brand GiftCards are the perfect way for Marriott fans to
introduce their friends and family to the gift of travel," says Leigh
