Card.com Can Meet All Your Banking Needs This Back to School Season!

Disclosure / Disclaimer: I received this product, free of charge, from Car.com, via Swerve, for review purposes on this blog. No other compensation, monetary or in kind, has been received or implied for this post. Nor was I told how to post about it.


Our Back to School special is coming to an end,  and I have some great products to share with you as September comes to an end! Meet Card.com !

Card.com is your bank away from your home bank- making it perfect for kids off to college this Fall!

The best part about Car.com?

This is a debit card, like the one from your local bank, and you can use it EVERYWHERE (like your debit card) Visa is accepted -- except it's way cooler and cuter than your crumby old bank card.

Look at all you can do with it:

• 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

This card is not a gift card, so you can’t give or receive the card as a gift - It's better than a gift card because you don't just use it once and toss it, but instead get to replace your boring bank-issued debit card and show it off over and over. Making it perfect for Mom and Dad to add more money to as needed (and easily from their own bank account!). It's also great to start teens with, to teach them about having bank accounts and watching their money!

You can also et up direct deposit, load the card with cash at Western Union, use a Green Dot MoneyPak or transfer from PayPal ! This card is perfect for using as you crdit card on the web (ant not having your ACTUAL bank account being used online) and for people who sell on Ebay and get their funds from PayPal

The best part is finding JUST the perfect card for YOU, not who the bank thinks you are!

Those are the ones I found that definitely 'Louisiana themed'!

But there are literally 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, and even the Three Stooges!

But the one that REALLY got my attention was part of their Nancy Drew series!

Who knew?

I knew that was one I just HAD to have! Can you guess which one I picked?????

The process was VERY simple- Go to Card.com and find the card you want, click the 'Get This Card' link, fill out the forms (which takes about 4 minutes) and click enter. Within a minute, you're approved! You get sent an email, confirming your account number, and with a printable direct deposit form, to give to your employer. And then within about one week, you get your card in the mail!

Once you call and register the card, you're ready to go!

Which one did I pick?

Yup- The Secret at Shadow Ranch!
(I think I read that book about 150 times at least!)

As you can see, the card totally matches the sample you saw on the screen and selected, and trust me, you'll get a lot of 'oh how cool is that' comments when you use your card!

This is a super program, and one that is perfect for both teens/coeds and parents!

And if you decide you don't want your card anymore?  

The cancellation process is super simple. The monthly fee ($5.95) isn't assessed until after 30 days, so if you decide you don't want to keep the card, just make sure you spend all $25 before 30 days from the activation date and destroy the card. If the balance is zero after 60 days, the account will close itself due to inaction. OR you can call the number on the back and cancel at any time, Easy peasy!

Be sure to follow Car.com on Twitter and Facebook for new card designs- you're sure to find one you LOVE!
