Fee-Heavy Kardashian Kard Is Killed Off ($100 annual fee, $6 fee to cancel card)

Less than a month ago, the Kim Kardashian and her reality show sisters introduced a prepaid debit card—the Kardashian Kard—that featured Kim's ample cleavage, along with monster fees, including a $99.95 charge to use it for a year.

250 people bought into this card? There shouldn't have been even 1.

This is what I meant to post in the second paragraph:

CNNMoney reports that only 250 customers had purchased Kardashian Kards. And while these customers may have been foolish enough to buy debit cards loaded with fees—intro fees of $60 to $100, $10 card replacement fees, $8 monthly fees after the intro period expires, $1.50 ATM withdrawal fees, $1 to add money to the card, and on and on—perhaps their foolishness will pay off because they’re now hanging on what may be a seriously limited edition collectors item. What happens to the money still on these cards?

Anyone stupid enough to use this gets what they deserve—and my bet is that there will be a lot of Americans stupid enough to use it or buy it for their kids.

Curious if the user has to bend over each time they use it?

All Kardashians are is about MONEY(and Kim’s Big Butt). They all are typical of the E. European Gypsy mindset (Kardashian’s are from Armenia).

“Anyone stupid enough to use this gets what they deserve—and my bet is that there will be a lot of Americans stupid enough to use it or buy it for their kids.”

We’re talking about Kardashian fans so they must be really stupid.

I am not even sure what a Kardashian is.... I’m probably lucky

Agree. Anyone who would have their name placed on a card with these fees cares not a whit for people.....they would extract every last dime from their accounts if they could.

Kim Kardashian is a whore.
She is famous for “leaking” a sex tape, sleeping with people of accomplishment and being shot out the end of her father’s penis.
If ANYONE is impressed by this clan of losers, please kill yourself.

She just made an @$$ out of herself.

And the obligatory...

You’ve nailed it; the Gypsy mindset.
Brings to mind also the great definition of a “celebrity”.
“Celebrities are people who are famous for being famous”.
No one quite knows how or why the Kardashians are ‘famous’, what they did to deserve any consideration, or interest, yet they still manage to get sprawled all over
the covers of every monthly tabloid. Only in America, sorry to say (but now that I think of it, the UK is good at this crap too.)

[Attention Surplus Disorder]

K. Kardashian is utterly classic Hollywood manufactured product, with talent to match.

I’m actually heartened to hear that a mere 250 people bought her Kard. Maybe we are making progress.

Next time, call it a Lady Gaga card and double the fees, LOL. Now you’re talking!

[MBB1984]

Sean Hannity probably has one. He referred to Ms. Kardashian as a role model for young girls.

Her Playboy spread was briefly mentioned in passing.
