I Love My Visa Prepaid Debit Card Form CARD.com!!

I wrote this review as a part of a Blog Friendly PR outreach campaign for CARD.com, I was compensated for my time but all opinions are my own.

A short while ago I was sent a Visa Prepaid Debit Card to test out from CARD.com. Getting the card was so easy and actually it was fun. Something like this debit card is exactly what my husband and I like to have. We do not use credit cards AT ALL!! It's something we decided a while back to completely cut out of our lives and it has served us well. Keeping our finances in check and staying out of debt is super important to us. Yet in our society, having something like a credit card is pretty much a necessity. That's where a Visa card from CARD.com really helps.

It was fun picking out the design I wanted for my card. There are tons to choose from and all of them are pretty neat! The one I picked is the one pictured above. It's one of my favorite paintings. Getting my information loaded in to my account took just a few short minutes. Adding funds to the card it very easy as well. It takes just a few minutes as well and the funds are available in no time after you make a deposit in your account. Getting the card in the mail was quick too. I've had to wait for some prepaid cards for weeks and weeks, but not with this one. They were very prompt and I was able to use the card almost immediately!

Here's how the card works:
  • This is a debit card, like the one from your bank, and you can use it EVERYWHERE Visa is accepted -- except it's way cooler and cuter than your boring bank card. 
  • Free to order, activate and load. 
  • Free app and check deposits from your smartphone. 
  • Free direct deposit. 
  • Free card-to-card transfers, any time, anywhere, in seconds. 
  • No overdraft fees -- never goes negative! 
  • Safer than cash - 24/7 support, Visa fraud protection and 100% FDIC insurance on funds. 
  • No debt, financially responsible, no interest/credit/APRs. 
  • No credit check and approval in seconds. 
  • 22,000 in-network ATMs. 
  • Thousands of cool, unique card designs to choose from, including brands like: Garfield, Popeye, Betty Paige, James Dean, Care Bears, Walking Dead, Star Trek, Autism Awareness, Breast Cancer Research, Shark Week, Where's Waldo, Doodle Jump, Three Stooges, Nancy Drew, etc. 
  • Free for 30 days - then $5.95 monthly fee, which is waived when you direct deposit over $800 in the previous 30 days. This fee is the same as the Walmart prepaid card and much less than many of the competitors. It's also much less than overdrafting your bank account, paying for a checking account or using a credit card.
It was super easy using the card too. It's not any different than any other debit card or credit card. The store I was at had no trouble at all getting it to process. Easy Peasy!! I love that kind of transaction!! Contacting the company and getting balance info was not at all complicated, and you can always get a "real" person to talk to if you need one. I also love the look of my card too. It's far from boring and I have received comments on it several times.

I think this is one Prepaid Debit Card that would help a lot of people out!!
