This summer I discussed the benefits of pre-paid credit cards from Plastyc — especially as new restrictions prevent those 21 & younger from really applying for their own credit card.
One benefit I would like to talk more about is the mobile access associated with these pre-paid cards.
With these pre-paid cards you can access your account from any phone with a browser on it — not just smart phones like Blackberry’s, iPhones, Droids, and Sidekicks. This means that you can access it from almost any phone in the US today.
There is so much you can do on your mobile phone…including: access your monthly statement, contact customer service, write a check, get your direct deposit account # (for easily depositing paychecks), suspend a lost card, verify your balance, send money to a friend, see your last 3 transactions, get cash back points, add minutes to your cell phone, and more! Considering how many of us carry our cell phones all day — and not our laptop — this is incredible news!
To compare…in case you’re thinking you can do this with any money management system…on most other mobile portals all you can do is verify your balance. Uh, that’s not always the only thing you need.
One of the things I was surprised by was the ability to add minutes to your cell phone. Turns out 2/3rd of cell phones in the world are prepaid! These prepaid cell phones have the same benefits of the prepaid cards, like those that I love so much from Plastyc. No surprises, no long term contracts, and easier to manage.
So on your phone, through Plastyc, you can choose the amount of airtime you want to load on to your phone and that cost will be deducted from your balance.
