We are going to create a Journey for Platinum customers who do not currently have a credit card. We will use the previously created audience of Platinum Clients. The channels used in the Journey will be Email and SMS in Adobe Journey Optimizer.

NOTE:  Some exercises may vary during the actual Hands on Lab versus what is listed in the Archbee Page, due to industry setup and / or Presenter preferences.
