Q:
How and when do you determine a Beanie's retirement date? Is it spur of the moment or planned in advance, like when it's released? (submitted by CelticQueen)
|
|
A:
The timing of what retires is very impromptu and spur of the moment. Even I don't know sometimes what I'm going to do - until I do it! I like to keep everyone guessing and anticipating and then do the unexpected.

You know for sure that you can always "expect the unexpected", I can't be specific because I want it to be a surprise, but here's a hint: Something worldwide and very special will start at the beginning of next year.

Ty desides to answer all of the previous weeks questions! Sounds like everyone has been confused over the MasterCard Beanie offer! Ty says, "I received so many questions I felt that you were truly confused. So I decided to answer all of them to help you better understand."

|
|
A:
Of course not. According to MBNA, last year the average amount spent by an individual on a credit card was $5,941.00. Very simply, you'll spend more than $5,000 using a credit card, so why not use a Ty MasterCard and get something in return . . . like the next exclusive Beanie free !

Q:
Will the free M.C.bear offer and MasterCard be available in the U.K.? (submitted by paulp)
|
|
A:
Yes it will. Not only in the U.K. but also in many other countries as well.

|
|
A:
Beanies ARE for children, but because they have become the #1 Collectable in the World, I realize that many adults enjoy them as well. I thought . . . why not create a Beanie that those over the age of 17 can initially collect for themselves or choose to give to a child. Bringing happiness to all ages isn't easy . . . but I'm trying !
|
|
Q:
Can you open a MasterCard account anywhere else apart from on the Internet to get M.C.Beanie? (submitted by scobbydee)
|
|
A:
Yes you can ! The Internet is just one of the places you can go to open a Ty MasterCard. You can call MBNA at 1-800-932-2775 and ask about the Ty MasterCard and look for applications very soon at all your favorite Ty retailers.

Q:
Why did you create the MasterCard Bear? (submitted by patandmegan)
|
|
A:
3 out of 4 Americans over the age of 17 use a credit card. So I thought it would be fun to make a Ty MasterCard. I negotiated with MBNA (the largest independent credit card company in the world) to not only offer you outstanding terms such as $0.00 annual fee and $0.00 liability for unauthorized use of your card, but also to give you some very special and valuable rewards. For example, if you use your Ty MasterCard just one time, you will receive a collectable Beanie Baby designed exclusively for MasterCard "absolutely free". You also are automatically enrolled in our rewards program that gives you points for every dollar you spend on the card. You can then redeem your points for special Ty merchandise available only through the Ty MasterCard program.
Doesn't it make sense that if you're going to use a credit card . . . use one that gives you something in return?
