Great news! The PreQualify versions of Surge Mastercard (Campaign 218) and Reflex Mastercard (Campagin 194) are outperforming the original campaign ID’s!

For this reason, we are ending the following campaigns so that we can move all traffic to the above-mentioned PreQualify versions. As soon as possible, please update your links to the new campaigns as shown below:

Surge Mastercard® – Campaign 25 update to Surge Mastercard® Prequalify – Campaign 218

Reflex Mastercard® – Campaign 23 update to Reflex Mastercard® Prequalify – Campaign 194

If, for some reason, you don’t see the Prequalify versions in your account, please email us immediately at publishers@icommissions.com so that we can ensure they are available to you.

Notes for each traffic type:

Email – Retire your old creative!
The creative for the old campaigns cannot be used on the new campaigns. Please retire all creative and download the new versions specific for the PreQualify links.

Card Comparison Sites – Additional Placement Opportunities!
Since the PreQualify versions offer expanded credit lines, the bank is requesting that publishers consider displaying the cards on bad, fair and even good credit category pages. Please reach out for full details.

Banner Creative Publishers – Changes may be necessary!
Please email us with the banners you are currently using. Most will be approved to use for the new campaigns, but we want to make sure to address any that require updates.

At this time, Amalgamated Bank of Chicago is temporarily removing the promotional rate associated with its balance transfer feature on the ABOC Platinum Rewards Card. Listings and content will need to be updated as follows:

Marketplace Listings:
1. Remove bullet point:
0% Intro APR on Purchases for 12 months and Balance Transfers for 18 months; after that the variable APR will be 12.90%-22.90% (V), based on your creditworthinesss

Replace with this bullet point:
0% Intro APR on Purchases for 12 months; after that the variable APR will be 12.90% – 22.90% (V), based on your creditworthiness”

2. General Intro APR statements should read “0% on Purchases for 12 months”
3. Balance Transfer Intro statements should read “N/A”
4. Credit Needed should display “Excellent”
5. Do not list in “Featured,” “Top Choice”
6. Do not list in first three positions in any remaining category
7. For those with log-in experiences, do not list in the non-logged-in experience
8. Remove from Balance Transfer and Travel pages

Reviews/Content:
1. All mentions of the promotional balance transfer period should be removed or updated to reflect that the promotional rate has been temporarily removed due to the current economic conditions.

2. The following disclaimer can be used to inform consumers that these promotional changes are temporary:

Please note: Amalgamated Bank of Chicago has temporarily suspended its balance transfer offer for new accounts due to the current economic environment. ABOC expects to reinstate this benefit in late 2020; in the meantime, new cardmembers can still receive a 0% intro APR on purchases for 12 months and have the opportunity to earn a $150 statement credit when they spend $1,200 within 90 days after account opening.

3. Unless approved otherwise, content should reflect that the credit needed is “excellent”
