Question from UW-W students and parents: “Why doesn’t (fill in name of a Whitewater business) accept Purple Points?”
Each Whitewater merchant has to make their own business decisions regarding whether or not it’s worth being a part of the Purple Point program. All businesses off-campus must pay a commission to be a part of the program. Some of them feel the Purple Point program is worth paying the commission, others feel it’s not worth it. The HawkCard Office won’t pressure them into accepting the Purple Points. We only encourage them to consider being a part of the program and point out the possibility of increased business to their store. Nonetheless, the business/merchant always makes the final decision.
That’s all for this week.
Dave
