Intercash

Again, this is a query resulting from reading June's IA newsletter - at least you know I read the thing :)

Apparently, we can get hold of an Intercash prepaid Mastercard for receiving affiliate payments. Is this card an option for receiving all IA payments? Is this an option for your own programs (ie. Ladbrokes) and also for all white labels that just use your software for their backend?

BTW, the newsletter said there's a $350 prize draw for people who sign-up for the card. However, once I'd signed up, it said "you have been entered to win 750€."

I also have a question about Intercash. I applied for a card in February, but I still haven't received it, despite asking about it every couple of weeks. Does it normally take 4 months to process the application and mail out the card? If so, why? IMO, this should take only a couple of weeks, tops.

I've received the following e-mail regarding the Intercash card:

"You have 1 step left to get paid on your Intercash card: Choose Intercash as your preferred payment method option at your Merchant Site, and provide your new card number: 4338114500000357 For further information, please visit www.cardportal.com or email cardservices@intercash.com.
Please note, the only way to activate your card is by requesting a payment from your merchant. You will not be able to login to the Cardportal until you request payment from your merchant site and receive your access code."

From what I can read into this, I need to change an IA merchant's payment preference to this new Intercash card before it can be used to receive payments? That just ain't gonna happen. I'm not messing around with my payment preferences, changing my payment method to a card that I've not even received yet. Make sense?

Hi Fiction Net

Thanks for your question. We received the promotional information for the IA newsletter from Intercash. The promo is 350euro for Income Access affiliates who sign up for an Intercash card. Can you please send an email and a screen shot of where you see the 750 euro prize and we will speak with InterCash and get clarity for you.

It makes sense in what you are saying and it your choice as an affiliate in whether you decide to be paid via intercash or other payment methods offered in the Income Access network.

Engineer, we will follow up with Intercash about your card.

If you have any further questions please drop me an email.

Hi, Jamie - thanks for the feedback. Sorry, I don't have a screenshot of the 750 euro reference. It was a little while ago now :)

I guess I'll have to forget the Intercash card idea. I'm glad you get my point - I really can't see affiliates changing their payment preference to a card that might not turn up in time for next payments. It would make far more sense for the card to be issued and THEN allow affiliates to flick over payment preferences to be paid to the card. Needs a rethink, I reckon.

Hi FN

No problems, we thought we would ask.

Thanks for letting me know.
