Now Accepting Credit Cards!
Global Resorts Network is happy to announce that GRN is now able to accept credit cards for payment. At present that includes only Master Card and Visa but American Express is planned to be added soon.
It has been difficult to arrange for a merchant account because travel related companies are very high on the “risk” list. In fact, many travel related companies that had merchant accounts have been losing them recently.
As a result of our classification as a travel related company, GRN is required to pay a higher discount and the processing company will withhold a percentage of the overall transaction as a reserve against losses.
Some of the independent Affiliates have their own merchant accounts. They have been able to fly “under the radar” because of lower volume. Affiliates that can qualify are encouraged to procure a merchant account and accept credit card transactions on their own and remit payment to GRN directly. Conditions apply.
GRN hopes to have the credit card payment option on the web site soon. Those that chose to use a credit card will be asked to print a Credit Card Authorization Form and fill it out with information required for the credit card transaction and sign the form. This completed form must then be faxed (623 434-7488) to GRN where the transaction will be completed. The card user will be notified by e-mail of the successful completion of the transaction.
Until the credit card option is available on the website the credit card form can be obtained from this website.
