Payment platform TrialPay said it will launch a promotion this week that gives consumers a present when they purchase a Valentine's Day gift.

Sending flowers from FTD, buying clothes from Gap, signing up for Netflix or choosing from hundreds of other name-brand offers gives shoppers access to products for free.

Alex Rampell, TrialPay CEO, said Americans spent $17 billion on flowers, candy and romantic dinners on Valentine's Day in 2008. This year, shoppers can get movie tickets from Fandango, gift certificates from Restaurant.com, photo prints from dotPhoto and hundreds of other name-brand products for free by sending flowers to their Valentine through www.trialpay.com/valentine. The offer is only available through TrialPay and its partners such as Fandango and Restaurant.com, but not directly from FTD.com.--Laurie Sullivan
