For anyone giving props to Russell Simmons for another money making venture off his people look no further, the Rush Card/Baby Phat prepaid card is another money making and money stealing service.in purchasing this card the conveniences seemed to be awesome.
I loaded the card and went using it. Finally, in my embarassment I went to the store to get $17.65 worth of stuff only to be declined. I knew I had at least $18.00 and some change left but couldn't understand why it wouldn't go through.
Well EACH TIME you use your card, as a debit or credit you are charged a dollar so you have to have at least a dollar more than what you are trying to purchase. Ripoff??? No doubt.
If you have say $500 on your card and you want to make 30 or more purchases, the advertised "low" loading fees and bragging of "no" monthly fees is crap and you end up paying more for your purchases than most places charge as a monthly fee. You think Russell Simmons knew this? No doubt. The amount charged everytime you use the card is absurd and a strait up rip off!!!
When I used the card to obtain a membership on an ancestry website trial membership, I ended up paying $1 for a service I was supposed to get for free. Do not get this card! It is a rip off!!
