(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20051121/LAM075) The smartOne Visa Gift Card allows holiday shoppers the ability to personalize a Visa gift card online using their favorite photos. Friends and family can enjoy the freedom of spending with a gift card designed exclusively with them in mind. "You will find an online demonstration and all the information you'll need to design your personal gift card on our Web site at http://www.firstnational.com/giftcard," McCormack noted. "All you need when you log onto the Web site is your credit or debit card and a digital image of the photo you want to appear on your customized gift card." The gift card is available in any dollar amount from $25 up to $750 and is welcomed everywhere Visa debit is accepted. "The online application process is simple and fun," McCormack said. "Just log onto http://www.firstnational.com/giftcard and follow the easy step-by-step instructions. In addition to using your own photo, you can customize each card with special borders and personal messages. After purchasing and designing your card, your smartOne Visa Gift Card will be delivered within five to ten business days." The options are endless, as any personal digital or scanned photograph can be used for the smartOne Visa Gift Card, as long as it meets the guidelines of First National Bank and Visa, which are available at http://www.firstnational.com/giftcard. In addition to the value of the card, an $8.95 processing fee will be charged for each smartOne Visa Gift Card. Like a Visa Debit Card, every time the smartOne Visa Gift Card is used, the purchase amount is deducted from the available balance. Cardholders can keep track of their remaining balance at http://www.smartonegiftcard.com. "After the entire amount of the card has been spent, the card can be kept as a memorable keepsake," McCormack added.
