A formal introduction to the Linux "Tux" card.

Allow us to formally introduce the program that's causing such a sensation today, The Linux Foundation Visa card program!

Whale Wars is back with a vengeance!

If you haven't already, be sure to check out the new season of Whale Wars. You can see our friends from Sea Shepherd in all their glory Friday nights at 9pm. est on Animal Planet.

Visible Results

Not that you'll be surprised, but we're seeing a direct correlation between visibility of the card program on our partners' home pages and cards issued.

Omnipeace, which recently added a graphic about the card program on their homepage, is just one example among many.

Vis a vis partners who hide the card, those that let it shine can count on being rewarded with more accounts!

Arthritis Foundation Signs with CardPartner!

Meeting Face to Face

Yes, we're an online company and we're all for using the latest technology, but even we must confess that there is something to be said for meeting face-to-face. Doug, Margie and I had a wonderful meeting here in town (NYC) with a prospective group this morning and we all commented on how refreshing it was to visit in person, see their facility and put faces to names.
Virtual reality is all well and good but we'll still take real reality any day of the week. We're looking forward to another person-to-person meeting with yet another group tomorrow. If you're in the New York area, consider this your open invitation to stop by and see us at 37 West 20th. Street, Suite 810.

CardPartner by the numbers. Part 1.

We've been looking at the numbers lately and they're looking very good. At last count, we count thirty-three animal groups among our partners. These humane and welfare groups are focused on saving everything from frogs to whales to greyhounds and rabbits. We're proud to help them get the word out and the income in.

CardPartner Welcomes World ORT

What a delight to meet in person today with Valerie Khaytina, Deputy North American Representative of World ORT. Founded in 1880, ORT is the world's largest Jewish education and vocational training non-governmental organization. Valerie gave us a great excuse to put up a fresh pot of coffee and bring in a box of pastries from City Bakery. We're looking forward to a a soft launch of her program over the summer, with a major introduction this fall. Thanks to Elie Rubinstein from The Blue Card for introducing Valerie to us.
