    Vend bucks

    Treat your team.

    We continually explore new ways to bring added value to our customers. That’s what generated Mark Vend Bucks. Good for a free product from any of our vending machines, these vouchers are a great way to incentivize employees or treat visitors.

    You simply purchase a supply of Mark Vend Bucks at a predetermined price. Scanners in your machines are programmed to accept these vouchers for one transaction — any product, regardless of price.

    Just how popular are Mark Vend Bucks? One customer purchases over 2,000 of them each month to reward employees.

    Go ahead… indulge your team.

    Refunds

    No questions asked.

    We aim to make every vending transaction a positive one, but even the best machines act up once in awhile. Whether a candy bar gets stuck or a card reader fails, Mark Vend makes refunds easy. You have two options:

    1. We supply you with $25 in cash for reimbursing users as needed.

    2. We handle refunds for you. All of our vending machines are labeled with phone, text, email options for users to contact us and receive a refund. Most of our clients choose this option.

    Customer service is Mark Vend’s top priority — for you and those you serve.
