Thanks to Norma, an hCard member in Raleigh, for sending us the following testimonial. Ronda saved almost $200 when she used her hCard and our promotion with TireMonkey.com!

I recently purchased a set of tires for my 2006 Honda Accord from My TireMonkey.  I chose Uniroyal Tiger Paw Touring tires because they have a 70,000 mile warranty and a durability rating of 8 out of 10.  Imagine my surprise when they were also the least expensive tires at My TireMonkey that were recommended for my car!  This same tire sells for $122.96 each at Sears online.  I paid $73.22 each at My TireMonkey - a savings of $198.96 on 4 tires.  Because I am an hCard holder, I received an additional discount of  $14.64.  I paid shipping of $32 for a total net savings of $181.60.

The tires were shipped to North Ridge BP in Raleigh.  The installation process was flawless.  The station manager told me “They sell you tires for less than I pay for them.”  My TireMonkey gave me a guaranteed installation price of $76 that included Mount/Dismount, Computer Balance, Valve Stems and Tire Disposal.  When I checked out at the installers, my actual charge was $72, another $4.00 in savings.

I checked out My TireMonkey only because it offers discount through The hCard program.  With their steep discounts on tire prices, the hCard discount and reduced install costs, my total savings were $185.60.  I would definitely recommend using My TireMonkey to all hCard holders!

The hCard was featured in the November 11 issue of the Winchendon Courier in Winchendon, MA! The Murdock Middle High School Blue Devils football team presented The hCard to firefighters and police officers to thank them for their service to the community.

More than just a fundraiser, The hCard not only helps schools and nonprofit organizations raise money for their cause, but it brings consumers, the local merchants and the entire community together.

My name is John Posey and I am the owner of the Raleigh, NC office of Home Instead Senior Care. I am involved with the Alzheimer’s Memory Walk in my area and the association has their very own Memory Walk hCard.

I want to express my delight at how the hCards I have bought my employees have been received. My employees think it is the best gift I have ever given them and many have used the Roadside Plan which helps my employees show up on time at my client’s homes. My office staff giggles when they find the incredible deals on the weekly emails you send.

What a great employee benefit at a reasonable cost to me, the owner. Keep up the good work!

The hCard was featured in this latest edition of Wake Living magazine, Wake County, NC’s premier lifestyle magazine. In addition, Wake Living has partnered with The hCard to help raise funds for three worthy nonprofit organizations: the Inter-Faith Food Shuttle, the SPCA of Wake County, and the Special Olympics of North Carolina.

Wake Living had this to say about The hCard:

“The hCard is an ideal way to help raise funds for area schools and nonprofits in need while also receiving discounts from area and national retailers.”

As SchoolHeart has expanded nationwide with The hCard Program, we have begun to get some nice media coverage. It seems that our unique program that combines no-hassle, online fundraising with the fantastic value of The hCard is turning some heads.

hCard Members are saving hundreds on prescriptions using their National Prescription Card, included with The hCard Membership. Read some testimonials from hCard Members across the country who have taken advantage of these savings …

Bill from Georgia said …

“I have medical insurance as a corporate retiree that includes prescription coverage, but has a $25.00 per month co-pay for brand name prescriptions. I took one of these prescriptions to the pharmacy at a Wal-Mart Superstore. They priced the prescription at about $64.00 for a three month supply, offering a slight savings of $11.00 over three months. I then asked them to price that prescription using my hCard discount prescription card which I had printed on my home computer. That brought the cost of the three month supply down to about $28.00. This means that the $25.00 annual cost of my hCard was more than recovered with one three-month prescription as I saved a total of $36.00 based on the pharmacy price!”

Bobi from Texas said …

“I am so excited! My hCard pharmacy discount is saving me $45 a month on my daughters ADHD medicine. No more driving clear across town to the pharmacy that offered the cheapest price. I can pick it up at my local grocery store and still save! Thank you SchoolHeart!”

Suzanne from North Carolina wrote …

“While I was filling a new prescription, I asked the CVS woman what it would cost with my hCard discount. It turned out that with my insurance, this one was only going to cost me $.98, but in her words, she said: ‘Oh, I’ve seen that card many times!’ I asked if she knew how much it helped those people who used it. She went into her computer and while she didn’t share any names, she did look up one person’s prescription and added these words: ‘Their prescription would have cost $156, but with ‘that Card’, they only paid $48.’ She couldn’t believe it when I told her the hCard only cost $25! She wrote down the information so she could order her parents, as well as herself, an hCard!”
