MARGATE, FL -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 01/10/08 -- MediaNet Group Technologies, Inc. (OTCBB: MEDG), a leading developer of private branded web malls and online affinity programs through its BSP Rewards subsidiary, announced today the formation of a strategic relationship with Giftco, Inc., a leading provider of gifts and merchandise for the fundraising industry with a client base that includes a significant segment of the school systems throughout the United States. As part of the agreement, BSP Rewards will develop a Web Mall fundraising program for Giftco. Giftco customers, like the other BSP rewards users which have doubled in the past year to nearly 1 million, will be able to shop online for their favorite items at over 725 retail stores and other merchants while saving money and earning points for additional savings or other pooled purchasing power.

Commenting on this groundbreaking marketing relationship, Martin Berns, Chief Executive Officer of MediaNet Group Technologies, said, "This is a very important milestone for BSP Rewards as we now have a national marketing partner with critical access to an influential client base. Giftco is a national supplier of school fundraising products and has been a leader in the fundraising industry for over 35 years. As a popular supplier of products used to raise money to fund educational, enrichment and athletic programs at over 25,000 schools across the country, Giftco is connected with parent-teacher associations (PTAs), school officials, students and other school supporters, among other consumer groups, which are highly attractive demographics for Internet-based retail shopping programs created by BSP Rewards. These consumers are ideal beneficiaries of the convenience and purchasing power made available through BSP's leading online shopping mall, the largest single source for affinity-based e-commerce."

Howard Shapiro, V.P. Marketing of Giftco, stated, "Giftco, the leader in fundraising incentive programs, is very excited to announce that it has chosen BSP Rewards to complement and enhance its marketing capabilities for Giftco customers. After viewing the BSP presentation and meeting with the people involved in BSP and its parent company MediaNet Group Technologies, Giftco is very encouraged to have created a strategic relationship with the developer of the leading online mall and affinity program."

Giftco distributes merchandise throughout every state in the United States and also in Canada, and has been instrumental in assisting its customers to raise much needed funds for schools. In addition to providing the merchandise for purchase by the consumer, Giftco offers the most comprehensive selection of incentive programs to aid students in the sale of the products.

Established in 1975 in Vernon Hills, IL, Giftco has become the market leader in providing gift items and specialty products to the fundraising industry. The company's success stems from its continued ability to combine Giftco's proprietary fundraising line, strong customer and supplier base and proven service capabilities through the organization's comprehensive knowledge of the complex fundraising sales cycle.
