We work with you to ensure that you are passing appropriate data required by Visa, MasterCard, Discover and American Express (although we can’t control the types of cards you get – Corporate, Business, Purchasing, Rewards, World, etc.) to ensure that you do not fall to lower levels, and in the end, pay more.
