CiEvents Selects CCS Prepay to Manage Their European Strategy
Deployment of a European Disbursement Incentive Program

London 03Jun08 - CCS prepay has been chosen by CiEvents to manage the disbursement process for their European incentive program. CiEvents is a fully owned division of Flight Centre Ltd Australia, one of the worlds largest travel groups who are listed on the Australian stock exchange. CiEvents procures contracts to run global customer club incentive programs for their corporate clients. The program is structured some what as a traditional customer club loyalty program where Business Partners are awarded points for selling products against which they can redeem for rewards. Since 1986, CiEvents has specialized in corporate event and conference planning, production and project event management, incentive program conception and loyalty marketing.

The card program, set to launch in July 2008, will operate as an open loop gift card program, which will allow the prepaid cards to be issued across a range of international currencies, to suit the location of CiEvents business partners. CCS Prepay will co-ordinate the settlement process, card distribution and fulfillment management with one of its issuing banks. Mark McDonald, Director of CCS Prepay says ‘we are very pleased to have been entrusted by CiEvents to manage their European strategy and are equally excited at having delivered a prepaid solution which will be used by CiEvents partners who are among the market leaders in their respective industry.’ David Cox, Director CiEvents says, 'the CCS Prepay solution provided flexibility, very good reporting and the ability to provide prepaid cards into hard to target regions in Europe.'
