Service Providers
There were several service providers that offered rebates and/or discounts with a retail FundAmerica membership. Some of the providers with an individual retail membership were savings on long distance through MCI Communications with a 20% rebate, a 5% travel rebate with Ask Mr. Foster Travel Agency, a 10% rebate from the Best Products catalog, and a small rebate through the MBNA America Bank credit card purchases. Additionally, there was a preclipped coupon program where a FundAmerica member would check which items he or she wanted and then the company would send them clipped coupons through the mail. And, there was an accelerated mortgage program to save thousands of dollars on one’s home, through paying bi-weekly rather than monthly payments. Also, there was a $99.00 short notice resort condo program, where through membership, one would call one week prior and reserve an unfilled condo at a resort. The members' rebate monies would be transferred to individual tax-deferred annuity accounts bearing compounding interest.

“Good guilt is a product of love and responsibility. It is a natural, positive instinct that parents and good child care providers have. If bad guilt is a monster, good guilt is a friendly fairy godmother, yakking away in your head to keep you alert to the needs of your baby.”
