These cards are used by companies have a need to incentivize prospective customers and existing customers to do business with them.

- The Prepaid MasterCard Corporate Incentive Card offers the flexibility to be
used as either an employee incentive or as a consumer promotion. - The program provides ways for corporations to provide a company an efficient, economical,
flexible, and easy-to-administer alternative to traditional incentive programs for their partners,
vendors, customers and agents. - The incentive program delivers significant cost savings while improving the efficiency of an
organization’s incentive programs. They give the company’s stakeholders a real choice in how they
are rewarded. - The incentive program help streamline the costs and time involved in managing incentive
programs. Unlike traditional reward programs, there are no gift certificates to purchase, no
premiums to choose, no catalogs to administer.

By clearly separating rewards dollars from a purchase discount, the FiCentive Customer Incentive card significantly adds a greater sense of customer appreciation.
The card is also an efficient and effective way to recognize employees, promote new products and services, or offer a convenient alternative to rebate checks as prepaid cards are cost-effective, practical and can be customized to match a company image for increased brand awareness.
HOW THE PROGAM WORKS

FiCentive then sends the company an inventory of cards, or the cards can be mailed directly to their customers or employees if desired.
