I guess that is why Redpass have the promotional codes, so the business account owner can pay this for them. That is what we will do.
And as regards card limit, $2.5k a day is a reasonable limit. I don't imagine that this country where "banks are not an option" is a particularly safe place to stand in front of an atm waiting for a large amount of money to be counted out  |
It is not a question of the models and studios paying the 49 dollars, the question is about the other 90% of the folks. The problem is that I have to convince them to change to this card when they now do not have to pay anything for a card.
As for funding their cards I don't know many modes who live outside of the US who have us bank accounts, ergo they cant fund the account.
I really cant speak about your business but I can about mine, we can not afford to pay 50 bucks for a card when most of the models who sign up to work never work.. I know it is not just us it is industry wide...
Banks are not an option for two reasons, one is that 5 years ago the banks decided they did not want to do business with video chat companies and therefor if they find that you are declaring money for that reason they will close your account.
The other reason is that any declaration more than 5k has to have proof of origin as well as original invoice. I do not believe that your company nor MFC will provide that.
From what I have read in the business account that we have I see nothing about promo codes, I will have to look again.
As for the time that it takes the card to arrive, I see no reason why it should be different for Redpass than it is was for epassport, Payoneer, Paxin, American Express or a letter from my mom.
I have just had a look at my Business account and found no reference to Promo Codes. I also found it interesting that the link to the card limits has gone missing... Or at least I could not find it again.
I think that it is great to have a new payment system from a reputable company who is actually based in our business. This is great. I also think that I have to face the obstacles that I see.
Micheal is a great guy, and I have full faith in this new company... Again I just know what is going to be a hard sell..
