Aces High Credit Card
« on: December 04, 2010, 06:59:10 AM »
Hitech should work on a deal for Aces High Credit Card with a card issuing bank. They could increase revenue by getting a percentage of the amounts charged on the card.

The incentive for players to get the card would be perk points for every dollar spent. One perk point per dollar for all purchases and three perk points per dollar for all Aces High purchases such as subscription fees and merchandise.

A final direct revenue stream would be to allow cardholders to directly purchase perk planes in game at the rate of 2 dollars per perk point.

-1. I could up any plane shoot down one person and basically get 1 perk.  Easier than spending money.

And seriously......how cool would you look handing over your HTC credit card to the girl behind the counter ringing you up for your beer..........It says "why yes, I am a studdly (albeit inebraited ) cartoon pilot"   :D

Im game, if it makes HTC a couple more bucks, why not  :aok

Regarding the perk points, sure i would give it to my wife, and could fly 262s exclusivley for the rest of my AH carrier   :cry

Honestly I like the idea.  So much so that I'm considering 'customizing' my current card now :)

I wonder if HT would approve the use of the logo for such a purpose.

I'm pretty sure that Dawger is on the more mature side of mature :D ... nor do I believe he has any trouble getting perks.

so we would have to apply and get one spend 130 to 400 bucks just to fly a 262 for free?  imagine the new commercials from the capital one vikings saying, "now we can fly 262's"...
