Cardtrend Provides Further Details on BP Card in China

Market Wire,  February, 2008  

Cardtrend International Inc. (OTCBB: CDTR) ("Cardtrend") today released additional details on its BP Card loyalty card program and outlined its plans to expand across China.

KK Ng, CEO of Cardtrend, said: "Commencing with our initial program in Guangzhou announced last week we plan to launch the BP Card in key Chinese cities over the next three years, starting with Shanghai but later adding Beijing, Nanjing Tianjin, Dalian, Shengyang, Qingdao, Jinan, Shenzhen, Chengdu, Chongqing and Xian."

Chen Yu Hua, Cardtrend's Chief Officer for the Greater China Region, added: "We see significant opportunities for Cardtrend in the loyalty card market and are targeting to grow the BP Card program in China to 20,000 Merchants and 2,000,000 Cardmembers over the next three years."

Merchants participate in the BP Card program because they believe it increases their sales while enhancing customer loyalty. One BP Card Merchant is Xiao Yuan Wines, which serves imported fine wine and cigars in the heart of Guangzhou city. Ms. Li Si Yuan, Managing Director of Xiao Yuan Wines, said: "The BP Card allows us to cost-effectively out-source our loyalty program thereby allowing us to focus on improving the quality of our products and services."

Cardtrend rewards Cardmembers with 60% to 70% of the respective Merchant Fees in BP Points at the rate of 1 BP Point for each RMB 1.00 ( i.e. about US$0.13). BP Points are redeemable for goods and/or services from participating Merchants at the rate of RMB 1.00 = BP 1.00. All participating merchants are identified by the BP Card acceptance logo, further increasing brand identification and loyalty.

Chen Yu Hua of Cardtrend added: "We expect the average Merchant Fee to be about 12% of Cardmembers' spending, thereby rewarding our Cardmembers with about 7% - 8% of their spending."
