American Express (AmEx) has announced a
partnership with US college bookstores Barnes & Noble to launch
a prepaid version of its high-end credit card.
AmEx’s Campus Edition Prepaid Card has two
versions. One is a temporary card that can be acquired at Barnes
& Noble for $4.95 onto which customers can load $25 to $500 at
Barnes & Noble bookstores.

The other is a personalised permanent card
that can be ordered on AmEx’s website. In this case, the customer’s
name appears in the card and enables card holders to transfer funds
online from a bank account or, alternatively, through prepaid giant
Green Dot.
“American Express Campus Edition Prepaid Card
is a great solution for college students looking for a way to
budget and spend wisely, plus it comes with some of the same
benefits synonymous with American Express”, said Laura Kelly,
senior vice-president and general manager of the Americas, Global
Payment Options, American Express.
