Get your clients the convenience of Cash Passport & WIN

It’s the time of year when we're in a little slump. Christmas and NYE has left its (cake- and gin-shaped) impact, the budget has taken an even bigger hit, and the kids are at that bickering stage of the summer hols. To keep your cheer though, Cash Passport™ Platinum Mastercard® have an awesome incentive: $500 gift cards. Ten $500 gift cards, in fact! 

It’s the time of year when we’re in a little slump. Christmas and NYE has left its (cake- and gin-shaped) impact, the budget has taken an even bigger hit, and the kids are at that bickering stage of the summer hols. To keep your cheer though, Cash Passport™ Platinum Mastercard® have an awesome incentive: $500 gift cards. Ten $500 gift cards, in fact! 

Cash Passport already wooed us last year when they dropped the rates and fees across their travel-savvy money card. We love that they now have no fees for transferring funds online back to a bank account and give equal rates for online and in-store customers.

We’re also really chuffed that YOU can win five hundred big ones for getting your client the smarter travel money

Win one of 10 $500 Mastercard Gift Cards!

To enter to win a $500 gift card, it’s super easy for Australian travel advisors. Just sell a new Cash Passport between 16 January and 12 February 2023 and tell us in 25 words or less what your top tip/s are for selling a Cash Passport from Mastercard. 


What if it’s my first sale? 

You might think you haven’t got any tips on selling a Cash Passport, or maybe your competition entry is your first-ever sale (how cool would that be, winning from your first sale!). Does this mean you can’t enter?  

Nope! Not at all.

First, up, industry-veteran Janene Ferguson from Helloworld South Melbourne shared her top-selling secrets with us last year, so there are some juicy titbits in there. Secondly, Cash Passport’s Steve Callaghan dropped a ton of cool intel too. The legend!

Plus, we also know that a little creativity goes a long way! Can you make your answer a rhyme? A haiku? A limerick? A palindrome (okay, maybe too far). Get creative, be bold!  

Can you give us some more hints?
