I'll contact my local Cardsave rep and if enough of you guys are interested, Ill secure a good discount for forum members.

Count me in. Been looking at different card systems, trying to decide which is best suited to me. I'd be interested in sitting down with someone and negotiating a package that works. I agree totally - card payment is almost obligatory nowadays. Plus it makes a company look so much more professional and solid when they display the logos - it's not necessarily true, but it gives an impression of having some substance behind the company.

System does your card company offer nectar points or similar reward incentives like bods does? Im toying with the idea and am weighing up my monthly costs against customer benefits....
My typical custards price is not as high as yours but typically 2k towards for a heating install

Cheers

I've contacted CS and I'll forward on the details of each member who had PM'd me after I hear what discount they will offer. If their are any referal fees I am offered, these will be given to each member who signs up as a further discount.

No one is under ANY OBLIGATION at any time to sign up for anything. That's entirely YOUR choice if after the rep has visited you, that you want to go ahead.

Anyone else interested please PM me before Monday evening.

If a customer isn't willing to pay by card, or give you cash then they obviously havnt got the funds to pay. FACT.

So how do you expect to be paid? I don't want my customers carrying the risk of having thousands of pounds lying around their house just to pay me! Cheques are worse and I feel insulted being offered one. Come on its the 21st Century and card payments have been around since the 1960's. Besides customers love the convenience.

Cash or direct transfer. Like i said thats my opinion.

To all the guys who PM'd me their contact details;

CardSave rep was in my house tonight and the company are going to introduce a block discount for UkPlumber forum members. Expect to be individually contacted as well, as I forwarded all your contact details.

I have mentioned to them about becoming forum sponsors and they are really interested in this idea as well.

Best of luck and I hope you all get your card terminals and moreso up and running before burst pipe season in December!

Anyone else interested in portable card machines, there's still time, just PM me.

My sober opinion of this is -- If you are a one man band and are doing the smaller type jobs or subbying to a builder check in great detail whether this is for you. If you employ staff who take cash it might be for you.,

I don't do much subbing, but I am a one-man band, doing smaller stuff, and a terminal would definitely help me. I do a lot of emergency callouts, and there's no way someone with a burst pipe is going to go to the cash machine at 3 AM, nor will they be too impressed if you ask them to log on to online banking and do a transfer. Pull out a card terminal, and nobody bats an eyelid...

I ask you how many times on small jobs have you been knocked. If you keep getting trouble in collecting money maybe its for you. As far as 3 am callouts are concerned a customers card or cheque book might not be produced, collect later. Please do the sums with these cash machines
