The recently launched Freedom Eagle Cash Card is the UK’s first prepaid retail instant issue, fully re-loadable, embossed Prepaid MasterCard® with chip & PIN security to offer a free value added insurance protection package to its cardholders.

From 30June 09, all existing and new Freedom Eagle Cash Cardholders will benefit from free extended warranty cover, free 30-day purchase protection and free 30-day price protection. So, not only do you get peace of mind with the added security of the latest chip & PIN technology, but you now also get a whole insurance package that no other prepaid card in the UK can offer.

Underwritten by niche protection insurance specialist, Assurant Solutions, the Freedom Eagle Cash Card package provides 3 valuable covers for your purchases.

Purchase Protection covers items purchased with your prepaid card against theft or accidental damage for 30 days from the date of purchase provided they are not covered by any other insurance.

Price Protection covers the price differential on purchases made in the UK with your prepaid card where you find the same item at a cheaper price at a retail store anywhere in the UK within 30 days of the date of purchase.

Finally, Extended Warranty provides an additional 12 months’ mechanical breakdown coverage over and above the manufacturer's own warranty on any domestic electrical goods purchased in the UK on the prepaid card

The Freedom Eagle Cash Card gives you the ‘freedom’ to control your money, whether monitoring your card balance remotely and in real time via SMS, when loading the card with funds or making purchases at over 28.5 million worldwide locations and at 1.5 million ATMs which display the MasterCard Acceptance Mark. There is no need to fill in lengthy forms, undergo credit checks or have an existing bank account. There is no interest to pay – ever – and it’s really simple to use. All cards are fully re-loadable and the maximum card balance for a Level 3 card is £3,000.

The Freedom Eagle Cash Card is available to purchase online at www.freedom-card.co.uk, and through selected independent retailers (see website for store locator) for £9.99. Once purchased, you simply load, activate and start spending. Money can be loaded onto the card at any Post Office or PayPoint agent, by bank transfer or by having your wages or benefits paid directly onto the card by your employer.
