    So I totally, accidentally found this super way to get some free money. And boy am I glad I did. This is how it happened....
     I needed to cash a check and have lost my ID.And I hope none of you know how difficult this makes your life right now. It used to be easy to get a new ID, but not anymore. You will need all of the following....Birth Certificate, Lease with your name on, utility bill in  your name, voter card, if you are married, your marriage license. So, I don't have my birth certificate or marriage license, haven't ever needed them and I am famous for losing things, obviously that's why I am in this situation. Catch 22 is you can't get birth certificate without ID and can't get ID without Birth Certificate....ughhhhh. Only my parents can get a copy. Luckily, although I am getting up there in age, my parents decided to have me young and are still kicking around or else I'd be totally up the creek with no paddle. So, I suck in my pride and decide to call and beg them to go wait in line at Vital Statistics because I'm a blonde and can not remember where I put things. But as luck has it, my fantastical mother has my original. Now I know I have purchased a copy numerous times over the years, never thinking that my mother (who by the way is a blonde also) would know where my original was.
      Anyways, it's a long process.And leads to my original point. I only have a copy of my ID, and I really need to cash a check in my name. I call around to see if anyone would take a copy, Wal-Mart, Amscot, anyone I can find...Then I find Ace cash checking and they say,they will take a copy.Yahhhh. I show up and after many phone calls with the head honchos they agree to cash my check. Only catch is I have to put $10 on their pre-paid card. Ouch I know there are service fees for everything on there, plus a cost to purchase it. Usually $3.95 to buy it and $2 a transaction. Wich would mean my $10 investment would allow me to purchase something for $4.05. Not very wise, but I really need to cash this check and I have no other options. So I decide that $5.95 plus the $3 fee for cashing out-ways not having electric.Then the wonderful lady tells me they are waving the $3.95 because they are making me buy it. And the funds are available immediately after I activate the card. So now I'm down to the $2 fee. I know there is something I want that cost $17, so i put $20 on the card.
      Now comes the coolest part.....When I call to activate it tells me that if I go to the website and activate I get an additional $4. Now I'm up $2. But I'm not done I log on and start to activate my card and it asks for a promo code. One of my favorite questions, because I know if I see Promo, or coupon code I am about to get a better deal. So I search for codes and low and behold a free $5 referral code.I put it in and boom my credit is $29. I put in $20 and was able to make a $5 purchase online( $2 fee) and took out  $20 at the ATM ($2 fee). So I get my online purchase free. And I post my code online at all the coupon sites that I'm an avid fan of and they get the same deal.
     Once you get an account you get a referral code and every person that uses it gets $5 free plus the $4 if they activate online, and here comes another cool part, you get another $5. They simply add it to your account. This is all totally free money while they are trying to get their name out. So utilize this awesome advertising technique to score free money. Because the only thing better than Saving Money and Having Fun is to get Free money while having fun.
    referral code I have is 3159691773. Just go to Netspend.com and enter your info and put this code in the referral line.
