Partnerships

Partnership with LivingSocial

In April 2011, LivingSocial announced a partnership with Next Jump. The new alliance will allow LivingSocial to present its daily offers to the 100 million consumers in the Next Jump network. [3]

On June 9, 2011, Next Jump introduced OO.com - the first fruits of its partnership with LivingSocial. On OO.com, people enter their zipcode and are presented with a map filled with LivingSocial deals, and people also get rewarded with WOWpoints every time they buy something. [4]

Acquisitions

In Jan 2011, Next Jump acquired a start-up called FlightCaster that looks to help people predict flight delays — before the airline even tells people about them. [5]
