WhenU's 'PriceBandit' Toolbar Saves You Money This Holiday Season

WhenU Team Keeps Coupons Current and Bargains at Your Fingertips

NEW YORK, Dec. 2 /PRNewswire/ -- WhenU, a leading provider of software-based contextual online advertising is offering consumers the ability to easily find what discount coupons are available as they shop on the Internet with its "PriceBandit" toolbar. The PriceBandit toolbar along with the PriceBandit.com Web site allows consumers to browse hundreds of online coupons before making purchases, ensures coupons have not expired, and lets buyers know when new coupons are available.

The PriceBandit toolbar installed on the desktop gives consumers immediate access to hundreds of online merchants with 245 sites currently offering coupons or other special offers. Over 106 sites are offering some form of free shipping.

According to WhenU, with the onset of the busy holiday shopping season, there has been an increase of the number of visitors to computer and electronics sites such as Gateway.com and BestBuy.com. The PriceBandit toolbar shows that there are savings to be found in consumer electronics such as digital cameras, plasma TVs, and flat screen monitors. Consumers in the WhenU network have also been flocking to online discount retailers like SmartBargains.com, which offer a variety of closeout and designer goods at significant savings.

A new survey conducted by AC Nielsen for eBay Inc., San Jose, CA, claimed 84 percent of Americans said they will buy at least one holiday gift online, up 10 percentage points from last year.

Money saving coupons have come to be an expected perk of shopping online, however most coupons found on the Web are often out of date - and though hundreds of e-commerce sites offer coupons - they are often impossible to track.

A staff at WhenU updates and searches for the latest coupons, some exclusive to PriceBandit, and the toolbar is kept current through WhenU's relationships with the e-commerce sites that are a part of the PriceBandit network.

Right now the PriceBandit toolbar's top offerings include, 25% off at babystyle.com, 20% off at ebags.com and 20% off a $75 purchase at Petsmart.com.
