Russell Simmons Rush Card

A Rush Card aka Baby Phat Credit Card is nothing but a prepaid debit card. This card gives you the same conveniences as a credit card but without the worry of any debt. You have already paid for it which means that you put the money on the card before you spend. Your limit is set by the amount of money you put on the Card. It's much safer than carry cash and you can access your money anytime and anywhere just like the power of a Debit Card. Also know as the Baby Phat Rush Card by Russell Simmons. You can even go to any ATM machine and withdrawal cash. Russell Simmons Rush Card also offers Free Direct Deposit so you can Deposit you Paycheck to your card. There is a $1000 dollar limit though but Everyone is approved as long as you have proof of identification. There are no Hidden Fees and its very easy to add money.

One of the Best things to happen to people who do not keep track of their money good. You can only spend whats available on the card. The prepaid rush card allows you to manage your money with confidence and assurance. Since you set the limit to the amount of money on the card you set your own credit limit. Since its a Visa Card you can use it where ever Visa is accepted and you can withdraw money from over 80,000 ATM or money machines. Again you can directdeposit your paycheck or even a portion of it and the money will be available on payday instantly. The Rush Card also allows you to check your balance on line at Rush-Card.com 24 hours every day. Russell Simmons knows how to promote this card and he does things right.

Now you know all about Russell Simmons Baby Phat Rush Card and you have to decide if its worth it for you or not. There is cost involved and in not used properly can be very high. But I have include all the information form Rush Cards website and Videos good and Bad about the Rush Card its up you to decide if its for you or not. Below is my opinion of the Rush Card overall I believe its a real good value for some people and really a bad Idea for others. Read my opinion below.

The Rush Card is not for everybody and is good for some people and a very bad idea for other people. If you have good credit and can control your spending this is probably not a good purchase for you and you probably would not even consider purchasing one of these prepaid debit cards. The cost can be very high and you could be wasting lots of money before the year is over. It cost 19.95 to get one of these cards and you will spend a couple of bucks every time you use this card. Russell Simmons Has had to defend himself several times this past year because the feel he is taking advantage of people struggling to get credit. My opinion is that he is a very smart man and he really is helping a lot of people. People with Debit cards that cannot control spending will have 5 times more fees. One example is you run out of money for the month on your debit card and you purchase a few little things that cost a buck or two and you made 5 or 6 of these its going to cost you big. Banks charge an average of $35 for each purchase no matter how much the amount. Just $30 dollars over could easily cost 200 hundred dollars. So yes I believe the Rush Card is good for some but bad for others.
