  3. What is an ISE Card? • ISE stands for International Student Exchange. Even though “student” is in the name, there are three versions of the ISE Card. One is for faculty members, one is for students and one is for youths. Faculty and Student cards are issued to those under the age of 65 and Youth cards are for those between the age of 12 and 26. • The ISE Card was created as a way to help those who were traveling to be able to save some money by receiving special discounted rates at overseas locations simply by presenting their card. Eventually these benefits grew to include an emergency hotline as well as airline bankruptcy protection. • The best description of an ISE Card is as an International ID that is recognized worldwide and comes with all of the above benefits. ISE Cards are currently being issued in over 50 countries worldwide. First in Student Discounts Worldwide

Emergency Hotline • Each ISE Cardholder has access to a 24-hour, toll-free emergency hotline that may be called from anywhere in the world. • The hotline number is found on the back of each ISE Card, and 24 different languages are spoken by the europ assistance representatives, so foreign cardholders can speak to someone in their native language. • The phone line may be used for travel assistance needs as well as medical and legal emergencies.

Airline Bankruptcy Protection Each ISE Cardholder automatically receives up to US$2,000 in airline bankruptcy protection. • If an airline goes bankrupt and a cardholder is left stranded, all they need to do is call the hotline number and they will be able to use as much of the US$2,000 as they need in order to make other arrangements to get back home.

  10. ISE Contributions • ISE is dedicated to increasing student awareness about the world and the plights of those living in situations less fortunate than their own. That is why ISE supports UNICEF. For every dollar that is contributed by our cardholders to help a child, ISE Cards matches that amount and adds two dollars more.

  13. Issuing ISE Cards Five important points to remember: • ISE Cards must only be issued to those who can prove their student, faculty or youth status. • When you make a mistake on a card, keep it and send it back to the ISE Head office for credit. • Don’t give cardholders a blank card. They can add their photo-that’s it! • Sell ISE Cards in any way you like…in a package, individually, or give them away as a promotion! • There is a minimum order of 50 cards. Orders can be placed by either calling the Head office, writing an e-mail, or filling out an order form at: http://isecard.com/agentresources/order/agents/index.html First in Student Discounts Worldwide

  14. Issuing ISE Cards And just a few more points….. • The ISE Card normally retails for $25.00 US but you can sell it for whatever amount you like. • The difference between Student and Youth cards is that Student cards can be issued to anyone who is a full-time or part-time student under the age of 65 include anybody under the age of 65 and Youths must be between the age of 12 and 26. • When describing the ISE Card, it’s best if you mention that it is an International ID Card in addition to all of its other benefits.

  19. Why do I need an ISE Card? This is a question that we receive quite often. Below are a couple of possible answers: • “The ISE Card is an internationally recognized ID Card that clearly shows Student, Faculty or Youth status. This can be beneficial when traveling to foreign countries where any identification you may have in your native language might not be accepted or recognized as a legitimate ID.” • “The ISE Card identifies you as an international traveler. In addition, you will have all of the benefits of the travel assistance, airline bankruptcy protection, and 24-hour toll free hotline.” First in Student Discounts Worldwide
