Today, kids get more money and more responsibility, which is all the more reason to start passing on your financial knowledge to them at an earlier age. One of the best ways to capitalize on this ritual of growing up is to check out the reloadable PASS Card from American Express.
For this week’s Win It Wednesday, two lucky MOMfinds readers will win an iPod Shuffle from SheSpeaks and PASS by American Express.
The PASS Card is so simple to use. Simply load the PASS Card with your son or daughter’s weekly allowance and they have a risk-free way to take control of their spending. Plus, you teach them a valuable lesson about money management. Kids can add funds, withdraw cash from an ATM, or shop online. Rest assured, through the online system you can track how much your child is spending and where. Most importantly, they cannot overdraw, and if they lose the PASS Card, the money is protected. How much better is that than giving cash? Thanks to our friends at SheSpeaks you can get $25 if you enter the code SS25 when you sign up for the PASS Card. (Only one promo, per person at signup).

I am a subscriber. My niece is staying with us while her mom is deployed in Afghanistan. This would be perfect for her as I am giving her an allowance for helping me with my daughter and also helping me around the house as I am pregnant. I love this program!

Dev is working and making her own money and can’t get a debit card so this would be ideal so she can shop online etc. I am a subscriber.

My nephew is going on a school trip to Florida in about a month, so the PASS card would be a great alternative to giving him cash or a credit card to use while he’s there to make sure he’s not spending money haphazardly!

I would get both of my daughters one of these cards. I could put their allowance and birthday money on it and they could spend any way they need. I like that it does not impact their credit

It’s time the kinder learn about money management, and this sounds like a great tool for that! I think allowance, chores and grade rewards would be perfect to load on this card!

I checked out their site and I’d use the pass to give to my teen daughter when she goes to visit her aunt in Seattle this summer, that way she could have some spending money but it would be safer!
