American Express Incentive Services Gift Card
From LoveToKnow Creditcards
Different than the typical prepaid credit card, the American Express Incentive Services Gift Card allows you to design a prepaid card specifically intended to motivate or influence clients or employees. As the card’s designer, you choose the card’s purpose and how the money will be spent.
Tailoring Your American Express Incentive Services Gift Card
American Express offers a variety of options to help create an effective reward card. You can personally design a card to promote your business incentive programs by choosing the type of currency and ongoing rewards, and you can even make the card reloadable.
Along with choosing the card’s purpose and how the money will be spent, another perk for choosing a card like this is the opportunity to fully customize the card face and to utilize co-branding. Co-branding means that your logo appears on the card to promote your brand or business.
Around-the-Clock Customer Service
There's no need to worry if a gift card is lost or stolen. Each card comes with lost/stolen protection. Around-the-clock toll-free customer service provides quick access for customers to report a lost or stolen card, and cardholders also have access to websites where they can check balances and card information.

Promotional Impact
Handing clients and employees a mug or t-shirt featuring your business logo is one thing, but giving a gift card is a promotional item that can have a real impact on how the client or employee views your business. Use these gift cards as incentive gifts for employees and you may find an increase in productivity and morale. Use these gift cards as promotional gifts for your client base and you may achieve something that is both desirable and elusive within the world of business: your business will be at the forefront of your clients’ minds. That’s a great position to be in. Be sure to prominently display your business name or logo on these cards for maximum impact.
One great aspect of using these cards is that the amount of money you load onto the card does not necessarily need to be substantial in order to have an impact. A $20 gift card is a welcome gift for any employee or client, and when you consider the amount of money you would have spent on other potential promotional products then this comes out to be quite a bargain. You might think of these cards as business cards with perks.
If you want to maximize your promotional impact by featuring your brand, theme or other message, an American Express Incentive Services Gift Card can make a perfect option. For more information, contact a service representative by calling 1-888-853-0162..
