Some Helpful Tips for Using Your Card

Always check your balance by phone, text, or internet before attempting to use your card each time.

Getting started and assigning your card a PIN:

? Your card is already activated and ready to use. ? To make purchases at the point-of-sale, choose "credit". ? To use for PIN and purchases with cash back you will need to:

?? Call 1-800-225-1115 to activate and select your PIN ?? Follow the voice prompts

Note: The sixteen (16) digit number on your card is your account number and your zip code is the zip code on record at the donor center.

?? If you get a message "we did not recognize your response" then notify the donor center so we can update your address and zip code.

?? You have to listen to the message before you are prompted to enter your PIN number.

Making purchases:

? You may select "Credit" or "Debit" when making purchases.

?? If you select Credit, you will be prompted for your signature.

?? If you select Debit, you will be prompted to enter the PIN you obtained during activation. ?? Ask the cashier for assistance if you are having trouble ?? Note: The Debit "cash back" option is not available with this card.

" Splitting" Payments:

? If your purchase amount is more than the amount available on your debit card:

?? Tell the cashier you'd like to use two forms of payment. ?? Use your debit card as the first form of payment

(specifically tell the cashier the exact amount to deduct from your debit card). ?? Pay the difference first with another form of payment.

Using your card at restaurants:

? Restaurants may temporarily "authorize" your card for 20% more than the purchase amount. They do this to cover gratuity.

? Make sure you have enough funds in your account to cover the authorized amount.

Spending up to your limit:

? Remember... your card does not offer you a line of credit. ? You can only spend up to your available balance.

?? If you try to spend more than is on the card you will be charged a decline fee each time you attempt.

Getting cash at ATMs:

? Choose checking when making cash withdrawals. (Although you have a debit card, the processing network requires you to select checking). ?? The maximum withdrawal from any ATM machine is $400 per day.

? Enter the PIN you've selected during your activation call when prompted by the ATM

Purchasing gasoline:

? You must present your card to an attendant inside the gas station. DO NOT use it at the pump. ?? For security reasons, your card will be declined if you try to purchase gas "at the pump."

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I do if my reloadable Visa prepaid card is declined? Is there a fee for the replacement card?

The merchant will inform you of the decline and a fee will be applied* (see fee below). To help prevent this, keep track of your balance by visiting the web site prepaid.biotest or calling the Customer Service number on the back of your card. It is always a good idea to check your balance before you use your card.

There is no fee for the first replacement card. For subsequent replacement cards there is a $6.95 fee per card. To request a replacement card, please contact 1-877-855-7201.

What if I want to donate prior to receiving my replacement card? In what form will I receive my payment in the meantime?

Is there a fee to check my balance?

There is no fee to check your balance, question a transaction, change your PIN, or to report a lost or stolen card. Simply visit the web site prepaid.biotest or call the Customer Service number on the back of your card.

Don't let not having a card in hand deter you from donating plasma-- saving a life. Your funds will be automatically transferred to your replacement card and available for your immediate use.

What should I do when I've spent the original amount I put on the card?

Is there a maximum balance I can only have up to? There is no maximum balance. The more you donate, the more you earn.

A "zero balance" card is a great way to alert you that it's time to come in for your next donation. But keep your card--even after the balance is depleted. Again, the card is "reloadable".

Can I transfer funds to my prepaid Visa?

No. Transferring or wiring any funds to this card is strictly prohibited.

What happens if my card is lost or stolen?

Unlike cash, your Visa card is covered by "Zero Liability" protection. If your card is ever lost or stolen, the card can be replaced, and the funds credited back to your account. It may take 7 to 10 business days to receive your replacement card.

What if I change my mind and want to return (cancel) a purchase?

Remember to save your purchase receipts, in case you have merchandise returns. Have your reloadable Visa prepaid card handy and be prepared to present it at the time of a merchandise return. Store return policies may vary. You may receive a credit to your card, a cash refund or even a store credit, depending on the particular store. If the merchant's return policy allows it, the merchant will credit the amount of the purchase back onto your card. This may take up to one week to process before the funds are available.

Report lost or stolen cards immediately by calling the toll-free number (1-877-855-7201). It is recommended that you write down this toll-free number and keep it in a safe place in case both your card and the accompanying materials are lost or stolen.

What is the account inactivity fee and how can I avoid it?

The account inactivity fee is only charged to accounts that do not have a payment made to the account or have not performed a transaction from the account in the last 90 days. It will not be assessed to an account if the balance is zero and it will not take your account negative.
