PLANO, Texas, Aug. 31, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- What do you
get when you mix one part rabid college football fan with two parts
free pizza and a new loyalty program from Pizza Hut?
The recipe for a great way to celebrate the return of ESPN
College GameDay built by the Home Depot.
Pizza Hut, the Official Pizza Sponsor of ESPN College
GameDay and College Football, will kick off the college
football season by offering a chance to snag free pizza for a year,
every week, for members of Hut Rewards, the pizza company's new
pizza loyalty program.
Starting Saturday, Sept. 2, Hut
Rewards members tuning-in to ESPN College GameDay each week
will get their shot at winning a year's supply of Pizza Hut pizza,
simply by signing up at GameDay.PizzaHut.com. Current and new Hut
Rewards members are eligible to win each week.
"College Football fans demonstrate the ultimate loyalty each
week while cheering on their favorite teams. That's why we are so
excited about getting them signed up for Hut Rewards, which we
believe is the best loyalty program in the pizza category," said
Zipporah Allen, Vice President of
Marketing, Pizza Hut, U.S. "Not only will fans have a chance to
quickly earn free pizza by being rewarded points for every dollar
spent online, but the opportunity to win free pizza for a year adds
to the fun and entertainment of GameDay each week."
Quarterbacking the promotion for Pizza Hut will be Maria Taylor, the newest addition to the
award-winning College GameDay crew. Taylor will appear in
advertising, as well as regular segments to tout the weekly prize.
One winner will be selected each week. In addition, Taylor will
help Pizza Hut select and name the College GameDay "Sign of
the Week," yet again tapping into one of the most anticipated
elements of the GameDay experience.
"I know from experience how much better it is to watch football
with a slice of pizza in one hand," said Taylor. "I'm proud to
partner with Pizza Hut and encourage college football fans to 'sign
up' for Hut Rewards to start earning points toward free pizza!"
Introduced nationwide earlier this month, Hut Rewards is the
only national pizza loyalty program that rewards customers
unlimited points for every dollar spent on great-tasting food
online. The points-based program rewards two points for every
one dollar spent online on food,
which can be applied toward a Medium ANY™ Pizza (any recipe, any
toppings) for 200 points; or a Large ANY™ Pizza (any recipe, any
toppings) for 250 points. Now through Oct.
1, Pizza Hut is offering double points on all Pizza Hut food
purchased online.
Hut Rewards is open to US residents age 13+. For details on how
