Wired Plastic Card is a prepaid Visa debit card. You must deposit money on your card and then you can use your card to make purchases or access cash through the ATM.
Your card is accepted online and over the phone. In addition it is accepted everywhere you see the visa logo displayed.
Your card can be used to rent a car or make a hotel reservation. You also can sign up for free e-mail and text messaging account alerts.
A very unique benefit of this card is they have a rewards program. You will earn 1 point for every dollar spent using your card.
You can redeem these points at participating retailers, this includes; Cingular, T-Mobile, Verizon and more. Your points can be redeemed for; ring tones, music downloads, and toward your account balance.
This card is issued through Bankfirst and gives you free direct deposit. There is a $3.95 monthly fee but that is much lower to the standard monthly fee ranging from $9.95 to $19.95 a month for other cards.
Your card can also be used to write physical checks. These checks can be written to pay your bills such as; cable, utilities, and rent. This will eliminate paying for costly money orders. Your card can be loaded with money through a bank transfer, pay pal, and at over 100,000 retail locations.
They offer guaranteed approval for this card regardless of your credit history. This card also gives you a 30 day money back guarantee. If you are not satisfied for any reason you can receive a full refund.
It works just like a checking account or check card, except you will never pay a late payment fee, over the limit fee, or interest fee again. If you are in chexsystems then this card can save you money on check cashing fees by using direct deposit. Also using bill pay you can save money by no longer buying money orders.
To qualify for this card you must be 18 years or older. You must be able to comply with the patriot act to verify your identity and have a US resident address. They will not issue you a card if you only have a P.O. Box.
In sum the Wired Plastic Visa is a great choice. It works just like a checking account.
