Russell Simmons Rush Card

I just recently read an article on Russell Simmons Rush Card, its seems to be growing in popularity pretty fast. Already 300,000 cards sold first year. How does this Card Prepare to other Prepaid Debit Cards.

I believe this pre-paid card is just a the same as a regular pre-paid credit card except that there is no annual fees or monthly fees. A user of this card can pay like $20 for their one-time activation fee and never have to pay recurring monthly fees again. Also, each time you use the card for purchases, you incur a $1 fee, but the good thing about it is after $10 (per month) you purchases are free. I guess in reality the monthly fee is $10

Also, found a good article about the Russell Simmons credit card and other celebrity credit cards: Why celebrity credit cards fail.

My opinion is APR, incentives and reward programs are more important to most people instead of the actual picture on the card.

For me personally, I do not care what the credit card looks like but, looks like it does for some! To each their own I suppose..

Russell Simmons the Entrepreneur...I salute him! His card....hmmm all those cards hit you with fees to the extreme...but the fact is....there is a market there that needs to be addressed. Only thing about the affiliate program...or referral program....its kinda small potatoes.

i m not personally using this companies credit card, but one of my friend is using. and he is pretty much satisfies with this companies services and interest rates. he also getting good rewards from his card.

I never knew a pre-paid card had a fee per purchase.
