Teen Card (9/23/99)
FULL STORY:
Are you guilty of underage shopping? There is a new payment card just for
you. A San Francisco company announced this week an Internet payment card for
teens. Cybermoola Inc. unveiled its Cybermoola card which combines the features of a
pre-paid phone card and the benefits of an online cash account. Teens
activate their Cybermoola cards by filling out a brief form at the Cybermoola web site.
Upon completion of registration, they receive an account and PIN number. The
card can then be used at participating e-merchant sites such as
CelebritySightings.com, EZCD.com, Outletmall.com and SaulGoodman.com. The
cards are available in denominations of $10-$500 and can be purchased and recharged
online. As part of the charter launch, the company will be giving away 100,000
'Cybermoola' Internet cash cards worth a total of nearly $2 million. The cards
will be distributed between now and the end of October, distributed mainly to
teens 13-18 years of age in select major markets including Atlanta, Boston,
Chicago, Los Angeles and San Francisco. The sampling program will be
conducted at a variety of teen-oriented events such as movies, concerts, school
assemblies, and through email. To apply or for more information visit
