This ensures that your business will always have new customers eager to purchase your products and services.

This “cash rebate” percentage is debited electronically from the merchant bank account of each Merchant-Member. This unprecedented service connects your business to Global Village’s growing database of buyers and Members nationwide.

Hassle Free

Hassle free with no extra records to keep. The only cost to the Merchant-Member is a cash rebate, which is a percentage of the purchase price decided by the merchant in exchange for Global Village sending them customers. This rebate is earned when a Global Village member makes a product or service transaction using the Global Village “Prosperity Card.” This card is a non-payment cash rewards card that must be used in conjunction with a debit/credit card, gift card, cash, or whatever form of payment accepted by the merchant.
