RushCard Announces First-Ever Direct Deposit Sweepstakes
The Prepaid Visa RushCard wants to motivate
consumers to make their money work for them every week, and today it
announced its first-ever sweepstakes promotion to do just that.
UniRush Financial Services has launched its “A Winner A Week”
Sweepstakes promotion for cardholders of its Prepaid Visa RushCard and
BabyPhat Prepaid Visa RushCard. Cardholders earn one entry for each
direct deposit of $50 or more received on their card during the
sweepstakes period, March 22 through June 13, 2008. Consumers can
deposit their payroll, benefits and tax refunds directly onto the card
to enter this sweepstakes. There will be one winner each week, who will
receive $250 loaded onto his or her card.
“With our first-ever sweepstakes promotion, we want to help people turn
the tables on their money,” said Ram Palaniappan, RushCard’s General
Manager. “You work hard for your money, so this is a chance to let the
money you earn work for you. Direct deposit of your checks onto the
RushCard is a smart way to manage your finances, and this sweepstakes
promotion rewards winning cardholders for taking control.”
RushCard will sponsor more sweepstakes throughout the year, so it will
pay to be a cardholder in 2008, Palaniappan added.
Prepaid Visa RushCard cardholders will have even more chances to win
cash in the 2008 Visa Reloadable Prepaid Cards Tax Refund Sweepstakes
promotion. In this Visa promotion, which runs from January 1 through
April 15, 2008, consumers depositing their federal tax refunds or refund
anticipation loans to Visa reloadable prepaid debit cards are entered
for a chance to win $15,000. No purchase or obligation necessary to
enter or win. For details see www.taxrefundsweeps.visa.com for Official
Rules. Last year’s grand prize winner in the Visa 2007 sweepstakes was
RushCard member Cynthia Williams, who won over $14,000 – ten times the
amount of her tax refund.
Fellow RushCard member, Lakeisha Turner, recently won the grand prize of
$10,000 in the 2007 Visa Reloadable Prepaid Cards Direct Deposit
Sweepstakes promotion where those with recurring direct deposits onto
their prepaid Visa cards were automatically entered. More than 30 other
RushCard cardholders were first prize winners in that same promotion.
The RushCard was launched by hip-hop mogul and entrepreneur Russell
Simmons to help people without a traditional banking relationship gain
the financial freedom, security and respect they deserve.
The Prepaid Visa RushCard offers free direct deposit for all
cardholders. Using direct deposit instead of paper checks is a safer and
easier way for consumers to receive payments.
