Direct deposit of funds leads to an opportunity of a lifetime





 


CINCINNATI, Ohio, Oct. 20 /PRNewswire/ -- Today Prepaid Visa® RushCard
announced that card member Ebony Pleas has won $10,000 as part of the Visa
Prepaid Debit Card Direct Deposit Promotion. The promotion gave prepaid
cardholders who received a direct deposit on their card between May 1 and July
31, 2009 an automatic chance to win the big prize. 


"Having received my tax refund a little after the deadline, I didn't realize
it was really perfect timing for the direct deposit promotion and that I could
win $10,000!" said Pleas, a St. Louis mother of three. "I feel so thankful. My
family and I were practically homeless before winning the sweepstakes. Now, my
children and I can have our own home and be able to start over."


This contest is another way that RushCard encourages its members to become
more financially savvy by taking advantage of free direct deposit and using
the right tools to more easily manage their money on a daily basis.  


"These sweepstakes are a great incentive for our members to use direct deposit
and manage their money well," said Ram Palaniappan, general manager of the
RushCard. "Direct deposit is a safe way to receive your money, and it
encourages better money management. We're thrilled that we were able to help
Ebony!"


Members who direct deposit their checks onto the RushCard get their money as
soon as it's available, eliminating check-cashing fees and avoiding long
check-cashing lines. Members are ensured that their money is safe and
protected. RushCard features like spend tracker pages, opt-in credit reporting
and RushText alerts also help members manage their hard earned money.
