Millennials See facecard as True Love This Holiday Season
Facecard Prepaid MasterCard® to launch “12 Days of facecard” Campaign
Nashville, Tenn. (December 8, 2008) – As inflatable Santas and robotic reindeer continue to inhabit neighborhood yards, facecard Prepaid MasterCard is already celebrating the holidays. On Thursday, December 11th the “12 Days of facecard” will begin, giving facecard members an opportunity to receive daily Prewards over the course of a dozen days.
“We are excited about the holidays and the ‘12 days of facecard,’ an occasion for students and young adults to get the stuff they want and need at a discount,” said Ed Braswell. “Unlike many holiday offers, these gifts come with no strings attached. It’s simply facecard saying, ‘here’s some money to use at lunch or towards gifts for yourself or others.’”
Beginning Thursday, those individuals lucky enough to have a facecard will be eligible for daily Prewards during the “12 Days of facecard.” Prewards are digital incentives loaded directly onto the facecard prepaid card to be used at favorite restaurants and retailers. Each morning, randomly selected members will wake up with an email or text message letting them know where they can use the latest Preward that has been loaded onto their facecard prepaid card.
The “12 Days of facecard” campaign allows members to get a holiday budget bump from participating retailers, including Amazon.com, Overstock.com, Foot Locker and others. Throughout the year, advertising partners load Prewards onto the cards of facecard members, but with this effort, members can receive a concentrated number of Prewards to use for themselves or when buying gifts for others.
“I continue to be amazed at how facecard has changed the way I handle my money,” said Tommy Sutter, a college facecard member. “It has made it so much easier to keep track of what I spend, pay back friends and classmates and eat cheaper. I’m thrilled that facecard will be spreading holiday cheer with Prewards.”
