One of the latest trends for promotional items is the Master card gift card. A prepaid Mastercard credit card works just like debit versions of regular Mastercard credit cards do, and prepaid Mastercard credit cards are fully transferable. That means that after you load the prepaid Mastercard credit card with an initial dollar value, you can hand out these prepaid Mastercard personal credit card promotions to your customers to use on what ever they want. Use these promotional items as a gift for visiting your store during a special event, to encourage them to shop at your boutique or online store or to simply encourage them to subscribe to your ezine. 

To apply for Mastercard gift cards for your Mastercard offers you need to:
  1. Establish how much to spend on your Mastercard offers.
  2. Identify Mastercard credit card providers.
  3. Apply for Mastercard credit card gift cards.

Action Steps
The best contacts and resources to help you get it done

Create a budget for your mastercard business credit cards promotion


Before you buy your promotional prepaid Mastercard business credit cards, you need to establish a budget for your promotional Mastercard offers. This budget will need to identify the total amount of money you have to spend on the promotion, the number of promotional items you want to give away and when you will need the items by.

I recommend: Create a budget using templates offered by Excel or Planbook.

Identify vendors who sell prepaid mastercard credit cards


Understand that the cost of each prepaid Mastercard personal credit card is going to depend on the value of each card and the card purchase fee. Also look at the fees the cards will charge the user such as transaction fees and reloading fees.

I recommend: These vendors offer prepaid Mastercard credit cards: Prepaid Mastercard Now, and Mastercard.com.  If time is a consideration, you can also buy prepaid Mastercard gift cards at department stores.

Buy your prepaid from mastercard gift card vendors


A number of vendors issue prepaid Mastercard credit cards and each one has the right to charge the fees that they want to. To get the best deal and to find the best prepaid cards, compare fees before placing your online order.

I recommend: Creditcards.com and NCBuy.com both offer listings for prepaid cards which include features of the card, fees the card charges and general reviews of the card. They also offer links to apply for and purchase the prepaid cards you are interested in.
