New credit card will accelerate rewards earnings, waitlisters earn additional bonus.

Rewards and payments innovator Vertical Finance is throwing open the waitlist for its upcoming Grand Reserve consumer credit card designed specifically for wine enthusiasts, giving early adopters the potential to amass significant bonus reward points. Building on the success of the standalone Grand Reserve rewards program, which rewards consumers for their purchases at wineries, wine shops, and wine clubs, the Grand Reserve World Mastercard accelerates rewards earnings for oenophiles as they pursue their passion for wine.

The Grand Reserve credit card will include many distinctive benefits tailored specifically for wine enthusiasts and will enable cardholders to earn points on even more purchases than the current rewards program.

Recipeas, the intuitive recipe search app that tells you what to cook with ingredients you have on hand, today announces the launch of their mobile app, available for iOS. By applying sophisticated probabilistic techniques, Recipeas aggregates the best recipes from leading websites and blogs, curated to the specific ingredients found in users’ kitchens, and for each in-app donation, Recipeas gives proceeds to a local food bank.

The best new recipe search app makes it easier than ever to find delicious, interesting recipes users can make without having to plan an elaborate meal or go to the grocery store. Recipeas first asks users about key ingredients that they are likely to have based on initial probability, and displays curated recipe results that they are likely able to make. With each use, Recipeas gets smarter, remembering the ingredients users select, and intuitively referencing decay rate to track expiration and supply. Hand curated by food lovers, new searchable recipes are added daily.
