When choosing your prepaid reward card provider there are several factors to consider. Do they let you choose between bulk and batch orders? Do they have both global and US offerings? Do they have extensive card offerings? Are they experts in their field? Are they responsive and invested in your success? What sort of technology do they offer?

When it comes to selecting the kind of rewards card you will offer, there are many options to choose from, such as:

• Virtual Codes
