Taking that into account. If you separated the card holder that were residents vs. out of state, looked at the cash in to cash out ratio, I'm wondering who they'd most benefit from and if they aren't benefiting more from out of state holders, why not? I'm sure many of us would be willing to use their services like any other rental business like audible, netflix and the like.
