Share the Pioneer Spirit

The more we are the better. The more passionate people believe in the fascination of analog instant photography in our digitalized world, the more secured, better and brighter its future will be - share your Pioneer Spirit!

To advance to higher levels within the program, Pioneer Card holders have to recruit a certain amount of new Pioneer Spirits (= new customers to Impossible).

To reach the Land Level, card holders need to recruit 2 new customers.

To reach the Impossible Level, card holders need to recruit 8 additional new customers (for a total of 10 new customers altogether)

After proposing a new Pioneer by providing his e-mail address, an invitation e-mail with a direct link to a new account will be sent. You can email potential pioneers through the toolbox located on the right hand side of the main page after you sign into your pioneer account. Each address you enter will be validated immediately against our database to make sure it's new. All new e-mail addresses and therewith potential new customers will appear in your Pioneer account immediately, but will be grayed out to indicated that they do not yet count as a new companion. As soon as an order by the proposed companion has been processed and shipped, the new recruited companion will be counted in the cardholder's Pioneer Account. Orders placed by new Impossible customers from the same IP address as the Pioneer Account holder/referrer will not count. Impossible may also do additional background checks to prevent abuse of the system.

The Pioneer Card program is subject to alterations and Impossible may modify any terms and conditions with timely notice.
