MasterCard Worldwide is offering a 10 percent rebate on Microsoft CRM products.

 

“All Small Business credit and signature debit cardholders enrolled in the Easy Savings Program now receive automatic savings on purchases for customer relationship management (CRM) products from Microsoft (News - Alert), and on dining from McCormick & Schmick’s Seafood Restaurant,” according to Bruno Perreault, Senior Vice President, Small and Mid-Sized Enterprises, MasterCard Worldwide.

 

The offer expands Microsoft’s participation in the MasterCard Easy Savings Program, which currently includes a Microsoft adCenter offering that enables small businesses to advertise and market themselves on the Internet.

 

MasterCard small business cardholders can also enjoy five percent savings on total dining charges at McCormick & Schmick’s Seafood Restaurant. The savings is valid at all 78 U.S. locations as well as for purchases of McCormick & Schmick’s gift cards for cardholders enrolled in the MasterCard Easy Savings Program.

 

“Since the early 1970s, McCormick & Schmick’s Seafood Restaurant has focused on creating a relaxed and inviting experience for our guests, and we understand that many small businesses bring their clients to our restaurant for that very same reason,” said Gregg LeBlanc, Director of Marketing, McCormick & Schmick’s.

 

The Easy Savings Program provides MasterCard Small Business cardholders automatic savings through a statement rebate at a wide range of companies, including fuel and maintenance, business services, travel and entertainment, printing and shipping and such vendors as the Fuelman Network, Avis, Budget, DHL, Microsoft adCenter, Monster, Administaff, RTools.com, Midwest Airlines, Maggiano’s Little Italy and others.
