Enlightenment

Visa Offers Cardholders Health/Spirit Rewards

Yoga retreats, meditation benches and the chance to "sponsor

the entire day's nourishment for 100 Rishikumars" are not

your typical credit card rewards, and the new Enlightenment

Visa hopes that its unique offerings will make it stand out.

Created by Conscious Enlightenment, a Los Angeles-based company

that publishes Conscious Choice magazine and runs other

health/mind/spirit businesses, the Enlightenment Visa offers

a standard one point per dollar rewards program, but the rewards

it offers are targeted to individuals that might be described

by some as "New Age".

Judging

by its Web site at http://www.enlightenmentcard.com,

the rewards program is still coming together, especially in

terms of non-profits that may receive help thanks to cardholders'

rewards. However, yoga classes and retreats in many different

parts of the country are available, as well as a wide variety

of merchandise such as environmentally-conscious products, yoga

equipment, jewelry, books, clothing and more. A drawback for

some interested cardholders may be that you must provide an

e-mail address and password just to access an application, but

there are no financial terms of the card listed and no privacy

policy telling how your information may be used.
