A maximum of 5 per day was deemed to be sufficient for most ECO CARDZ Holders’ needs. If you reach your maximum allowance in any given day, remember that the PULL service is still functional with no limitations. As per the Terms and Conditions, if ECO CARDZ becomes aware of SPAMMING activities, the service will be terminated for the offending party immediately and without refund.
