About Tango Card
Through a built-in integration partnership with Tango, you can easily enable gift cards and prepaid cards in your Portal Reward Catalog and/or send them via instant email delivery. Upon enabling Tango on your account with once click, an Ambassador sub-account for Tango will be created for your company. Those details can be found here in your Ambassador account settings.
How do I fund Gift Cards and Prepaid Cards?
Before you issue any rewards related to Tango, you are responsible for pre-funding your Tango account (via wire transfer or credit card) with atleast an amount that covers the balance you intend to payout referrals and/or to cover unredeemed portal rewards.
As Tango related rewards are issued or redeemed in the Portal, the amount is deducted from your available Tango balance. Therefore, it is important to regularly monitor the available funds in your Tango account to avoid payout delays or issues with portal redemptions.
