Dynamics Inc. Launches First-of-a-Kind ePlate™ Credit Card Device Running Revolutionary Experiential Payment “Apps”

LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dynamics Inc., an innovator in next-generation payment devices, today nationally launched the ePlate™ payment device – a battery-powered credit card that opens an entirely new payments category with first-of-a-kind consumer-facing payment “apps.” At any time, a consumer can change the “app” on their ePlate™ device and completely change the way the card operates along with the benefit the consumer receives. Consumers can apply for a Dynamics ePlate™ credit card device at www.dynamicsinc.com.

“When I saw the ePlate™ platform, I thought this was an innovative way to engage my readers”

“Dynamics created the ePlate™ device so that brands could create first-of-a-kind payment ‘apps’ on top of the four trillion dollar payment ecosystem to achieve any functionality and provide consumers with any benefit. ePlate integration into the payment system is so fast that consumer benefits for an ‘app’ will be delivered before consumers can even put their ePlate device back into their wallet,” said Jeff Mullen, CEO and Founder of Dynamics. “The result of the ePlate device is a new payments landscape – where a consumer can earn exclusive, disproportionately valued benefits instantly in ways never before envisioned. This holiday season, consumers will have a second decision to make at the point-of-sale – first, what to purchase; and second, what app to experience with that purchase.“

One of the experience™ applications is provided by Warren Adler, world-renowned author with masterpieces that include his iconic book The War of the Roses.

In the Warren Adler experience™ application, a consumer earns one of twenty nine Warren Adler eBooks instantly each time the consumer spends $400. Within seconds of the qualifying purchase, a consumer receives an email with a link to instantly download the book. If that is not enough, Warren Adler has offered an exclusive title for ePlate™ users. With every earned book, the consumer also earns a chapter of this exclusive work. And, if that is not enough, any consumer that earns all twenty nine Warren Adler eBooks also receive a signed, physical copy of The War of the Roses delivered directly to their doorstep.

“When I saw the ePlate™ platform, I thought this was an innovative way to engage my readers,” said Warren Adler. “I also wanted to reward them with a unique way to experience more of my books and a way to reward them with an exclusive work.”

How it works

ePlate™ is connected to an ecosystem of experience™ providers that each deliver an individualized brand experience, through an experience™ application, to the consumer. Prior to a purchase, consumers select multiple experience™ applications on their smart phone, tablet, or computer to port to their ePlate™ device. At the time of purchase, the consumer can use different buttons on their ePlate™ device to select different experience™ applications. To learn more about the ePlate™ device, watch the video at www.dynamicsinc.com. At time of launch, over 30 experience™ applications will be available on the ePlate™ platform.

About Warren Adler

World-renowned author Warren Adler recently released his 33^rd book, The Serpent’s Bite. Best known for The War of the Roses, his masterpiece fictionalization of a macabre divorce turned into the dark comedy box office hit starring Michael Douglas, Kathleen Turner and Danny DeVito, Adler quickly became the fountainhead of Hollywood screenplay adaptations, fueling an unprecedented bidding war in a Hollywood commission for his unpublished book Private Lies. The New York Post reported, “Tri-Star Pictures… purchased the film rights to Private Lies for …the highest sums yet paid in Hollywood for an unpublished manuscript.” While The War of the Roses garnered outstanding box office and critical success with Golden Globe, BAFTA and multiple award nominations internationally, Adler went on to sell movie and film rights for 12 books, all noted for his character driven and masterful storytelling.
