Telling potential cardholders how much they will save won't do it.
It is a catch 22 issue and we are doing the alternative approach now.
For a sponsor contacting me and willing to strike a deal that save the sponsor money and the affiliates even more I am open to everything. If a sponsor wants to add RedPass we will offer them a better deal than any of our competition.

As a few sponsors told me "we are happy with our current solution(s) but if our affiliates ask for RedPass we have to add it" but it has to come from the affiliates or models.
If a sponsor offers 35% or 40% revshare for models they could offer us and their models would be making an extra 3%.

For me its why pay 3% extra for the same service? I don't get it. If a sponsor is willing to take good care of their affiliates/models and give them the best deal possible to save their hard earned money I am open to a deal that will cut their costs by a lot and if their costs are very low we can offer instant access to funds and the same old 3% non- exsistant currency conversion fee.

As I posted above if you make $2K a month you would save $600+ a year using RedPass and for me thats 6 months rent for someone in Europe it would be a couple good nights out.
