In-Depth Credit Card Review

This online card application is intended for residents of the United States only. For other country options, please refer to the right hand menu bar. The Eufora™ Associate Prepaid MasterCard®, issued by BANKFIRST, is a stored value card designed for those who have fair, poor, bad, or no credit history and would like to earn income for referrals. Very rarely do prepaid cards offer benefits, yet the Eufora™ Associate Prepaid MasterCard® offers a unique income opportunity for cardholders. Each time a cardholder refers a new applicant to any Eufora™ MasterCard® card level, that cardholder will earn $20 per year if the referred applicant is approved and maintains their membership in good standing. A major drawback is that the cardholder only earns “commissions” for referrals at the Associate level, even if the referral is for a higher level Preferred or Elite card. These two higher earning levels have higher annual fees, but offer more benefits and opportunity for increased income, as the referral fees are considerably greater (see our reviews on the Eufora™ Preferred Prepaid and Elite Prepaid MasterCard®). In addition to the referral program, for every $100 spent cardholders automatically receive one entry into a monthly drawing for one of thirty featured cars. The annual fee for the card is $29.95 per year and there are no participation or application fees, which are usually associated with stored value cards. In order to use the card, cardholders need to first make a deposit in advance for a set amount (ranging between $5 to $5,000 per deposit), which determines the amount that can be spent on the card. For instance, if an individual were to deposit $100, they could only use up to $100 of credit for future purchases (there is a maximum of $5,000 that can be held in the account at any one time). Funds may be loaded onto the card through an existing checking or savings account ($300 maximum), money orders, bank wire transfers, payroll direct deposits, or retail locations. Eufora™ may also load the card directly from earned referrals (subject to their terms and conditions). So in the first year, a cardholder can expect to pay a total of $29.95 in fees, which is very reasonable for this type of card (this does not include any reload or penalty fees). An additional card can be provided for the account for a fee of $9.95. Therefore, those who are looking for a stored value card with which they can pay in advance for purchases and would like an opportunity to earn extra income will benefit most from what the Eufora™ Associate Prepaid MasterCard® has to offer. However, applicants may want to consider applying for either the Eufora™ Preferred or Elite MasterCard®, as the potential revenue far outweighs the difference in the annual fee. Most Attractive Feature: Unlimited income opportunity for referrals; monthly new car sweepstakes entry for every $100 spent; no monthly participation or application fees; guaranteed approval. Least Attractive Feature: Limited earnings for high level referrals.
