• ISE stands for “International Student Exchange”.
• The ISE Card was created as a way to help students traveling abroad to save money by enabling them to receive special discounted rates at overseas locations, simply by presenting their card.  Eventually these benefits grew to include medical & evacuation coverage, an emergency hotline, discounted international calling card rates, and airline bankruptcy protection.
• The best description of an ISE Card is as an International ID that is recognized worldwide and comes with all of the above benefits.  ISE Cards are currently being issued in over 50 countries worldwide.

Overview
To begin, we will highlight some of the pieces that contribute to making the ISE Card one of the best International ID Cards in the world…

ISE Discounts
ISE Cardholders are eligible to receive amazing discounts at a wide variety of international locations.  A complete listing may be found at: www.isecard.com

Emergency Hotline
- Each ISE Cardholder has access to a 24-hour, toll-free emergency hotline that may be called from anywhere in the world.
- The hotline number is found on the back of each ISE Card, and 24 different languages are spoken by the Worldwide Assistance representatives, so foreign cardholders need not worry about calling.
- The phone line may be used for travel assistance needs as well as medical  and legal emergencies.

Discount Guarantee
ISE guarantees all of its discounts.
If ISE Cardholders do not receive a discount at a location listed on the ISE website, they will receive double their money-back.  Therefore, cardholders can feel confident that ISE stands behind its reputation and will do whatever it can to try to make their travel experience a pleasant one. 

ISE Contributions
ISE is dedicated to increasing student awareness about the world and the plights of those living in situations less fortunate than their own. That is why ISE supports UNICEF.  For every dollar that is contributed by our cardholders to help a child, ISE Cards matches that amount and adds two dollars more.  ISE also supports local organizations and has, for many years, financially supported the Thai Youth Community Foundation.
