#ratechat, today and every Wednesday at 4PM CT on Twitter
Well, the #roadtrip2Bono was a success. In 72 hours, I drove 1500 miles round trip with 4 kids and a kitten. Hey, I’ve never touted my sanity.
A funny thing happened to me while I was on the road: A company named “Rate Clear” (@rateclear) used my Twitter handle when referencing their merchant credit card processing products without consulting me first. My guess is that it was the result of the interview I recently gave to Business Week. How they heard about me isn’t important, what is important is that I actually hadn’t heard of them until I saw their Tweet, so I am very happy that they took it upon themselves to reference me in their promotion. While most of my research on their products was done at truck stops on the way from Oklahoma to Iowa, I did have a chance to speak to a customer service representative from Rate Clear this morning. I even invited them to join today’s #ratechat. I’m not sure if they will join us, but I will tell you what I learned about their rates, tell you who would benefit from their pricing options, and I’ll take your questions on Rate Clear or any other processor. Can’t figure out how to read your merchant credit card processing statement? I’ll help you with that, too. I look forward to interacting with you today at 4PM CT on Twitter. Follow along by searching for the hashtag #ratechat, or by following me: @AmySwipeRite.
The U2 concert was fantastic, so if you’d rather talk about music than merchant credit card processing rates, I’m happy to do that too, on Twitter.
