Bartercard in the News
Bartercard Britain was featured in a barter related story on the UK news site, the Daily Mail. The article showcases a number of Bartercard members and successful traders.
Yvonne Hill and her husband Stephen, 55, joined Bartercard seven years ago shortly after taking over the 24-bed Hotel Penzance and The Bay Restaurant.They hoped that bartering would bring them additional custom and today they trade close to £100,000 a year via Bartercard - split evenly between buying and selling.
They earn their trade pounds by filling vacant rooms with Bartercard members or through the restaurant.
‘There are times of the year when our hotel is full and we know we can generate cash payments,’ says Mr Hill.
‘There are other times when we can’t - and that’s when Bartercard comes into its own.’
Bartercard, established in 1991, has 75,000 member businesses worldwide, 4,000 of which are located in the UK. Bartercard utilizes credit card technology to record transactions.
