Rather than waiting for your tax refund in the mail, have it automatically deposited into your Facecard account for free. Just follow the three easy steps below.

1. Complete your tax form.
2. Select to direct deposit your refund “To an existing reloadable prepaid card.”
3. In the Refund section, enter the following information:

• For routing number, enter 073972181.
• For account number, enter 613 and then the last 10 digits of your Facecard number. Example: If your card number is 1234 5678 9012 3456, you would enter 6137890123456.

You can use this information whether you are filing your taxes online or by mail.

Please note that the maximum balance for Facecard is $2,500. If your tax refund amount plus your current balance exceeds $2,500, you will be unable to deposit the tax refund into your Facecard account.

You can check the status of your refund online by going to www.irs.gov and clicking “Where’s my Refund?”  You can also check the status of your refund by phone by calling 800-829-1954.

Facecard Nation,

I have recently started using Mint.com to track finances and highly recommend it.  Recently Yodlee Money Center (also a great product) included Facecard into their service – every day your Facecard transactions are automatically downloaded so you can plan your finances using your actual purchase data.  We think it would be great if Mint.com could do the same.

If you also use Mint here is how to request Facecard inclusion – it only takes a few seconds and can be another service we offer for our customers that expands to almost any card program:

1) Edit your account list – search for Facecard – click “tell us about it”:

2) Fill out the form and hit Submit:

That’s it!

I am “the new guy” on the Facecard technology team.  Any feedback you have about features and functionality we can add to Facecard would be great appreciated.  We are changing the way payment cards are built from the ground up – and we cannot do it without you!

Thanks, Jay Graves

Millions of Americans have made New Year’s Resolutions to get a better hold on their finances. Even if you have a different goal in mind for 2010, it never hurts to evaluate different ways to make the most of your hard earned dollar. Here are just a few tips on how to use your Facecard to keep your finances in line:

• Set a budget. The number one budgeting rule is “Don’t spend more than you have.” With a Facecard, you can only spend the money that you have preloaded on the card which means no more overspending or hefty overdraft fees.
• Set up direct deposit. Set up direct deposit and your paycheck (or a set portion of your paycheck) will be loaded directly onto your Facecard for free. You’ll never have to wait in lines on payday or pay check cashing fees again.
• Sign up to receive activity alerts. You can opt in to receive text message and/or email alerts when your balance is low, when you receive a gift, when you make a transaction, and more. With these alerts, you can manage your account on the go.
• Save with Prewards: All active Facecard members receive weekly Prewards. When you shop with Prewards, you are able to save as you spend.
• Earn money for referring friends and family to Facecard. You will receive $10 for each person who registers and activates a Facecard through your personal invitation link. The sky is the limit!

If you have other tips on how Facecard helps you keep your finances in line, we’d love for you to share them with the Facecard community.

As always, thank you for being a valued Facecard member.
