What's in your wallet?
Anonymous has left a new comment on your post, "Get with the program Manitoba Metis change your mind-set!"
If someone really wants to help the Metis people, give them a Metis credit card with a low annual interest rate. Credit cards have annul rates starting at 18% and up to 28%. Give us a low interest Metis credit card with 3%-5% annual rate and you will really be helping the Metis. I can't see the affinity card doing much for Metis. If saving $0.80 at main stream shopping stores when you go shopping turns you on, then by all means spend $30 and get the affinity card. Did the commercial mention that it cost $30 to own one of those cards? I may have missed that. Those are just my thoughts and opinions on this Metis affinity card. What are your thoughts people? Will it work?

Dear Sir/Madam:
Completely agree with your comments.
Here's the commercial again. There's no mention of any membership fee associated with applying for and holding the afinity card. What needs to be examined closely is any agreement(s) that may exist between the company issuing the card and the MMF. This is not disclosed.
There may also be a privacy issue. You'll notice when your card is swiped to get points the information is available internally to the MMF which, if it chooses, can then share it with MEDO and ultimately it could end up in the hands of participating companies, businesses and merchants.
Question. Can you request your information the company responsible for operating the affinity card program does not share it with the MMF, MEDO and ultimately participating businesses? Companies have been know to sell client lists to advertisers. If you allow this to happen what's preventing you from receiving unsolicited mail (electronic or otherwise)? We're all heard about company client lists being hacked. How secure are those of the participants?
If David Chartrand thinks the Affinity Card is the answer to the MMF's financial woes he dreaming in quadruple technicolour - again! More hot air out the back of his shorts?
Sincerely,
Clare L. Pieuk
