I signed a new consultant on Saturday. She wants to get a PWS and needs to get it nowish so she can order business cards with the site name on it so she can be Business of the Month at her bank next month. She applied for the Debit card today because she just got her Password and ID. She has to use a PC Debit or Credit Card in order to pay for the card. Any suggestion on how she can do this since she doesn't have the Debit Card info yet?
 
I think she has to wait a couple of days for the debit card number to be ready. The finance dept is usually pretty quick with them.
 
I think after a couple of days you can even call the finance dept to get the number, you don't need to wait for it to come in the mail.
 
It takes 24-48 hours to process the number - have her call tomorrow and ask if her number is ready or when it will be ready.
 
Hi there! Congratulations on signing a new consultant, that's fantastic! It's great that she is eager to get a PWS and start promoting her business. As for ordering business cards with her site name on it, she can definitely do that without having her debit card information yet. She can simply use a credit card or even a prepaid card to make the purchase. As for the Debit card, she can either wait for it to arrive and then use it to pay for the PWS, or she can contact her bank and see if they can provide her with the card information over the phone or through email. I hope this helps! Best of luck to your new consultant!
