Card Issuers/Providers

A partnership between the card issuer/provider and end-user organization helps build a successful program and keep the program on the right track.

The Request for Proposal (RFP) Process

End-user organizations might be tempted to choose an issuer based on rebate incentives, but this can prove to be the wrong decision. Just because an issuer offers substantial rebate incentives does not mean they will help you grow the program. Without a partnership, your program could falter and you might not earn the great rewards offered. Access related resources:
