Facecard is excited to announce that it has joined the MasterCard® rePower network. The MasterCard rePower network allows you to easily add money to your Facecard at any of the thousands of participating retailer locations throughout the U.S. Better yet, your money is immediately available for you to spend anywhere Debit MasterCard is accepted.

There are two methods to reload your Facecard, depending on which the retailer supports:

• The Card Swipe Method — At locations that support this method, your card is swiped and the load amount is entered at the register. Your cash load will be instantly available.

• The Green Dot MoneyPak Method — At locations that use Green Dot MoneyPaks, simply purchase the MoneyPak in the amount of the load you want to make. Then follow the instructions on the MoneyPak to complete the load to your card. Your cash load will be instantly available.

Find a rePower location near you and add cash to your Facecard today. Click here for more information on the rePower network.

You received an email from Facecard yesterday inviting you to participate in a brief survey regarding your experience with Prewards. If you complete the survey between 3/4/2010 and 3/10/2010, your name will be entered for a chance to win a $50 cash Preward on your Facecard.

Thanks for being a Facecard member!

Pay-at-the-pump transactions automatically place a $75 hold on your account until the settlement occurs. This period of time may take twenty four to forty-eight hours, where after the $75 is refunded and the actual purchase amount is applied. This is a MasterCard® regulation which takes place on every MasterCard product. In order to avoid the $75 pre-authorization charge, simply pay before you pump in the store.

For the fourth consecutive year, Paybefore Awards is recognizing the best programs and people in the worldwide prepaid community. Paybefore awards are considered the highest level of recognition for card programs and products. A record number of prepaid programs vied for a top spot in this year’s Paybefore Awards—providing the stiffest competition ever for nominees and creating the greatest challenge to date for the five-judge panel.

Paybefore chose Facecard as a Paybefore Award winner in not one, but two highly competitive categories – the most Innovative Card Program and the Best Consumer Funded Card Program. It was announced yesterday that Facecard went on to receive the coveted Best-in-Category designation in the Best Consumer Funded Card Program category.

This is a very exciting time for Facecard. Thanks to all of you for being a part of the Facecard community!
