BSA Prepaid Discover Card Now Available!

The Boy Scouts of America Discover® prepaid card is now available!

With the Scout prepaid card, parents will be teaching their Scout how to manage money wisely. This is NOT a credit card, but a prepaid, reloadable card that can be replenished from any bank account. It's a great way for Scouts to manage their daily spending, and it's safer and more convenient than carrying cash. A lot of parents already know what they by using the best credit cards to build credit, it helps them out in the future when it comes to interest rates and loans. Now, they are simply teaching their kids the same thing with this prepaid card and hopefully instilling the importance of money management.

In case you were not already aware, put simply, a prepaid debit card is an alternative banking card that only lets you spend the money you load onto the card. Moreover, prepaid cards offer less risk of overspending than credit cards. It is surprisingly easy to overspend with traditional payment cards.

Most shoppers prefer tools to guide them towards better spending decisions and prepaid cards naturally limit spending to no more than the card balance. Prepaid cards are therefore a good option for people that struggle with their personal finances or for people that are living with debts. You can learn more about some of the different ways to manage your personal finances when living with debts by heading to the CreditAssociates website.

Correspondingly, with the Scout prepaid card, Scouts will show their support of our iconic organization while learning important lessons of money management. Get your Scout a BSA Discover prepaid card today by clicking on the "order now" button at www.ScoutsAreThrifty.com.
