/24-7PressRelease/ - PHOENIX, AZ, May 03, 2007 - The Value Card / Gift Card industry is rapidly changing. The "old-type" gift card only allowed a Merchant to issue their own branded gift cards for use solely at their establishment on a closed loop system. Now, a new platform exists where Merchants can sign up on a generic platform, and issue gift cards that can be used at thousands of merchants throughout the world. The SMS part of the system is available in the U.S. and 7 other countries. This robust featured
www.SMSComet.com Value Card is capable of being used on the Internet, and offline at Brick and Mortar stores. Merchants can bulk load hundreds of cards in seconds through a virtual terminal. Previously, value cards were simply discarded when the funds were spent. Now the Value Card /Gift Card potential can be maximized by all the new features never before available. The card can be continually reloaded by any merchant, thus creating repeat and new business for all. Further Merchant benefits include increased traffic, and gained advantage from other merchant participation. Merchants have the chance to expand their businesses, and increase their revenue by realizing the new market opportunity.
The
www.SMSComet.com Value cardholders' have more features and benefits with this type of card. Cardholders have the ability to load and store money on the card, and transfer funds to other Value cardholders for a small fee of only $0.99. The Value Card has no monthly, or yearly fees whatsoever. The other avoidable fee would be a dormancy fee of $1.85, if the card is not used after 60 days. Imagine...sending money to a friend or business partner overseas for a fraction of a wire cost, or money transfer service charge.
Another major technical innovation of this Value Card is the ability to administer the Value Card account through SMS or text message from a cell phone, thus the name "SMS Comet". The SMS Comet system is a one of a kind tool that enables any company or individual to transmit funds through a secure system over a cell phone. It is secure and private. SMS Comet has been fully integrated with a debit card platform for another unique feature that enables the value card funds to be moved from The Value Card to a pre-paid debit card for use at ATM's. This is a feature that has not been previously done on any other card. An example of this new Value Card can be seen on
www.smscomet.com and can be private labeled.
