Want to earn money for shopping online?  EarthLink and MBNA America Bank have just made that possible.  The new EarthLink VISA card, dubbed the official credit card of the Net, is the first credit card that rewards cardholders for shopping anywhere online.

  Cardholders receive a bonus upon approval and registration, and earn additional cash-back incentives on all their online and offline purchases. EarthLink bonuses and incentives are managed through an online EarthLink Cash account.  Once the account is established, money is deposited automatically, and can be applied to the EarthLink VISA card balance, transferred to the member’s bank account or donated to the non-profit organization of the member’s choice.

Incentives for EarthLink VISA cardholders include:

--$5 in EarthLink Cash immediately upon credit card approval;

--2% back on purchases made at the EarthLink Mall; and

--0.5% back on any Internet or offline purchases.
