It is important to remember that Mr News DOES NOT include these accounts when doing a credit card run and that these accounts will need to have there card details amended either before you do a credit card run or they can be resent once amended in the same batch as your other card error file.

Note!!! Cardlink has a password security feature and if you are only using it once per invoice period you may find that your password expires or is required to be changed, it is advisable to write down your ID and password or change your password to one you are already using.
