Response to people asking for more cards to the club…

Thank you for your interest in the Caliber Club and we appreciate your desire to have more cards. The intent of the club is to make it ultra-exclusive for our highest level members and buyers, and as such, we are intentionally limiting the quantity of cards to just one per company and having it sent to only C-level contacts. I hope you can appreciate our desire to limit the number of people who have access to the club, so it is most enjoyable for those people that can take advantage of the lounge and its benefits. Thanks.
