Friend, More About The SSO Tobacco Buyers Club...

Hi Friend,

Al from INeedSmokes.com here. I hope your Memorial Day holiday
weekend was a good one. I was at the beach for a couple of days
for some sun and fun. Those of you who have been with me a while
know how I love the beach! The summer time is my favorite time of
the year. :)

Anyway, on to business...

You know, I have gotten hundreds of emails over the last couple
of weeks that it was tough to answer them all. But I do think I
was able to answer at least 98% of them. If for some reason you
never recieved a reply from me then email me back: 

al@needsmokes.com

I am going to go over some of the common questions that I
received concerning Sovran Solutions Online (SSO). As you may
know, SSO is a members only tobacco buyers club.

~ (Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) ~

~ How much is it to join? ~

There is a one time only $24.95 fee to join the SSO Buyers Club.
Once the $24.95 payment is received you will then be sent a
private debit card by snail mail. Your private debit card will
be used to make your tobacco purchases on the SSO website. 

Many of you out there have joined but have not payed the $24.95
membership fee. Those who have not payed up have been issued
temporary accounts with SSO. These accounts will be deleted from
the system over time and you will no longer be a member. So hurry
and get those payments in!

There is also an option to make money by referring other
smokers. You can find more information on this by visiting:

~ Why use a private debit card? ~

The private debit card is to ensure anonymous spending on the
part of the buyer. No other online cigarette retailer can offer
complete privacy on your purchases!

No bank account is required so your purchases cannot be traced.
Money can be transferred instantly from one card to another. The
card may be used at locations around the world. The card is
reloadable. The card is accepted by millions of merchants and
ATMs around the world. The card can be used to buy items
securely at select Internet merchants sites. 

The money available on the card is supplied by the cardholder.
No credit checks or applications are required to get a card. 

~ Are their fees associated with the debit card?" ~

Yes, their are fees with the debit card and you must keep a
minimum of $10.00 in your private debit card. (This is to cover
the fees if the need arises). 

Many of the fees will not pertain to you. But just to give you a
run down, the fees are as follows: 

Load Fee: $4.95
U.S. ATM Withdrawal: $1.50
U.S. Withdrawal ATM Declined: $0.60
International ATM Withdrawal: $4.50
International ATM Withdrawal Declined: $1.20
Balance Inquiry - ATM: $0.50
Balance Inquiry - VRU: $0.60
Balance Inquiry - Internet: $0.00 (No Charge)
Card to Card Transfer: $3.00
Card to Bank Transfer (U.S. only): $3.00
ACH to Card Transfer (U.S. only): $3.00
Monthly Fee: $4.95
Account Dormancy Fee: $3.00
Card Deactivation Fee: $1.00
Lost Card Replacement: $15.00
Minimum Balance: $10.00

~ How do I load the card (add funds)? ~
 
Funds may be added (or "loaded") to a card in the following
ways: 

Direct Deposit (from a business or employer). Card to Card (from
one private debit card to another). Retail Loading Station (any
store that enables the loading of the card). Bank deposit (Chase
or Wells Fargo). Bank Wire Transfer.

There is also the Internet Bill Pay system for those users with
online bank accounts (where you can access your checking
accounts online). The Bill Pay system allows members to send
money to the member services payment center to load their debit
cards.

The bill pay system can be set up to automatically send their
money on a preset date (for those who run on a set budget) or to
send a single payment as the need arises.

Details are mailed to you along with your debit card after you
join. 

~ What are the prices for cigarettes and tobacco? ~

I have set up a special web page for prices:

http://www.ineedsmokes.com/prices.html

Note: Effective date of these prices is May 16, 2007 however, be
aware prices fluctuate with the market.

~ Why are the prices so high ~

It depends on where you live. If you live in a low tax state the
prices will seem high. If you live in a high tax state the prices
will seem low.

And don't forget the VALUE BRANDS with cigarettes as low as
$14.88 per carton! These brands are as good, if not better, then
the popular premium brands out there today. The NATIVE brand that
I personally smoke is highly recommended!

~ What are the shipping charges? ~

Shipping charges have already been added on to the cost of the
product you are purchasing. Once you are a member and place your
order online there will be NO separate shipping cost involved as
the shipping cost has already been included with the price of
the product. 

This is another reason it may seem the product cost is a little
higher than other cigarette websites when actually, it is
because the shipping cost has already been included with the
price of the product.

~ How do I join? ~

Simple. Go here:

~ What do you look like? ~

Sheesh! I can't believe how many emails I received on this! I
guess I will have to eventually put a picture of myself on my
website. :)

But, in the meantime I will tell you a little about myself. I am
38 years old, divorced, with no kids. I smoke (NATIVE). I like to
have a few beers now and then. I like rock/heavy metal music. I
work out and keep myself in great shape.

Gee, why am I even telling you this???? :)

I also hate how the government treats us smokers and I am
passionate about smoking issues. That's why I created
INeedSmokes.com in 2001. To let smokers know there is an
alternative to paying high prices for cigarettes.

I also have a Pro Smoking Blog where you can get tobacco news:
(Lately, I have been too busy to post but once things settle down
I will be back to posting news on issues that concern us
smokers)

http://www.ineedsmokes.blogspot.com

Well, that about covers the most common questions I received. If
you have any questions please don't hesitate to email me:

al@ineedsmokes.com

I am doing my best to answer all emails. Note: I do have 12,000
smokers on my email list so sometimes I drown in a sea of email.
:) But I will answer you back. Just be patient.

Okay Friend, that's all for now. I hope this email
clarifies what I may have neglected to mention in previous
communications with you.

Keep those emails coming. The more I know what is on your mind,
the better I am able to serve you...

Enjoy the rest of your week!

Cheers,
Al Martinovic
