IRVINE, Calif. – Teletrade, America’s largest fully automated Internet auction company for certified coins and currency, has officially launched "Teletrade Gold Rewards," a frequent buyer program that rewards customer loyalty for buying coins and currency in Teletrade online auctions. The program kicked off on July 1, 2008, and is open to all Teletrade registered bidders at no additional cost to participate.

"To the best of our knowledge, this is the very first comprehensive rewards program for coin and currency buyers," said Ian Russell, president of Teletrade.

"We have thousands of loyal Teletrade customers who bid and buy with us in auction after auction and we wanted to create a program that thanks them for choosing Teletrade when they purchase their certified coins and currency.

This program rewards them for making regular auction purchases with Teletrade, something they were doing anyway, and offers a fun and lucrative opportunity to get something back in return.

Best yet, they get to make their own personal choices in the ways they are rewarded."
