Ways to earn Trade Pounds include:

•	Selling excess or idle goods or services to other members, whereby Bartercard acts like a clearance house
•	Accessing Bartercard’s membership base of over 4,000 UK businesses to sell goods or services
•	Networking opportunities through Bartercard’s member functions
•	Selling goods or services at Bartercard’s regular member trade shows

How to spend Trade Pounds

With the guidance of your personal Bartercard account manager, there are many ways to spend your Bartercard Trade Pounds to boost your business and lifestyle! Some ideas on items to purchase with your Trade Pounds include marketing, business travel accommodation, business supplies, gifts, holidays, real estate, the list is extensive.

In addition to the ability to spend Trade directly into a member’s account, you can also purchase multi-trade vouchers and gift vouchers. Multi-Trade Vouchers (MTVs) are a simple and fast solution to overcome the hassle of making small purchases within the Bartercard network.  Small value, regularly made purchases, such as couriers, video hire, delicatessens, hotels (drinks), butchers, fruit and vegetables, groceries, take away and dry cleaning, can all be made more efficiently with MTVs.  MTVs are pre-purchased for specific Bartercard member businesses for T£20, T£50, T£100 or T£200, and can then be used by the member or their friends and family, at any time to make purchases from the specific member.

Gift certificates allow non-Bartercard members to purchase goods and services using Trade Pounds they are given by another Bartercard member.  Gift certificates are ideal for Bartercard members to use as promotional prizes, gifts or payment carried out by a non-member.
