MLS Can't Subscribe to Other Publication

I am a new MLS, being in card processing less than a year after spending 20 years in investment sales. I recently took a Green Sheet online survey asking what other trade publications I read. I have never seen Credit Card Management, one of the publications listed.

I did a search on the Internet and filled out the form to subscribe to Credit Card Management and received a reply today saying I did not meet their criteria for a subscription.

Your publication is the only real and in-depth source of information for the MLS who wants to have a broad and deep understanding of the bankcard business. It appears to me that you own this niche, because you've earned it ... thanks for a wonderful and informative magazine. Gerald Thomas P.S. In my last profession, in the trade publications, the advertisers drove the editorial to look like an infomercial; this is not the case with yours.

Thanks For Spreading the Word

Ed,

As a member of the board of the National Association of Payment Professionals (NAOPP), I would like to thank you on the group's behalf for your favorable mentions of our group in your Green Sheet column, "Street Smarts."

You have helped raise the level of awareness of NAOPP. Your ongoing support and the support of other major ISOs like you will help propel this organization to prominence. Again, thank you.

Sincerely,

Readers From Across the Pond!

First, I would like to commend you on an excellent publication. I was recently turned on to your product by a colleague and have found it to be an invaluable source of information. ... I have $1000 annual subscriptions that don't offer nearly as much quantity, quality, or service...

I just received my first print copy, June 28, 2004, Issue 04:06:02, and in the article on page 14 you mention the 2003 Acquirers Report, GSQ Vol. 6 No. 4, Dec. 2003.

As that was before my illumination to your product, I wonder where I might find that list of top merchant acquirers. Also, as I am in Europe, I was wondering if I might receive these issues via e-mail. The print version is great, but it has to be FedEx'd to me.

Thanks again for a wonderful product. Regards,
