Military-Aimed Credit Card

[Trinity]

PS> Would it be VISA or Mastercard? Or, can U even say which one?

Diners club    ;D

 

[Sig_Des]

Mastercard.

It's interesting to look into connecting it with other companies, but that would probably come after the start-up. Involve different companies in the original start-up, and things can get pretty complicated

 

[seirra]

Sounds like a good idea to me.

I think it is a good idea also if it can be put into action.  Not enough Canadian organizations provide recognition for their military/peacekeepers.
I would sign up for one.  Oh, and I like the idea of partnering up with other organizations.  10% off at the barber, beer store, peelers etc.  You know... places we go to on a regular basis 
Good Luck!

What If the Mrs. is in the force ?

Then she would qualify for her own DND Amex, would she not? 

The point I was making is unlike most "normal" credit cards, the Amex corporate card can only be issued in your name, you can't get a card in your spouse's name linked to your account.

 

[reccecrewman]

I would certainly be interested in something of that nature

Good luck in getting a blanket mailing list.  AMEX competes for and is regularly awarded the Corporate Business account.  If your company does decide to go this way please convince them to only send one notice. I already get the weekly MBank et al  letters, they do make good fire starter for my furnace.

Great idea really, but it'll never fly....because there'll have to be some sort of kickback to the mafia that runs the Canex.

A CADPAT card would require it's own lanyard.

Very interesting. Nice to see something like that availible. Anything ever come with you're companies credit card idea???

 

[Meridian]

Its MBNA Im betting (since MBNA CAnada HQ is in Ottawa).

MBNA especially loves affinity cards. 

 

[Sig_Des]

It was MBNA, but unfortunately, (or fortunately for me) I don't work there anymore...I found that I wasn't a big fan of MBNA...they also told me that the Credit Card proposal was an interesting idea, but not feasible at this time
