until you get your debit card? It doesnt look like there's any other option to use to pay for it....:(
 
Call HO. They can give you the # for your debit card while you're waiting for it to arrive.

These are mine: http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb315/chefann1138/BC1.jpghttp://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb315/chefann1138/BC2.jpgThey're the premium cards, and I added the recipe on the back (yum! - and a reason for people to keep them LOL). They weren't too bad, though. This link: http://e.vistaprint.com/a/hBG1AUAAZdBOABVkG9uA-UWmcr8/vph8?SHOPPER_ID=0TM4MUMSIPI45QJ4TRWRMZ3J7VX4FR2K should take you to an offer for FREE premium cards.

LOL!!!!! Goof!:D
 
Check to see if the website name you are intending to use is being used by anyone. If not go ahead and order vistaprint stuff with that on it. If it is taken, experiment with a couple variations and find one you like. You have an unusual last name so I'm guessing you'll have no problem using it for you website.

someone (sorry cant remember who right now:blushing: )offered a site to vista for free business cards and a bunch of other stuff. And I was so excited to see that I was getting $221 worth of stuff for $8.99 but I didnt have the money yesterday so I waited until tonight. When I went back to order, the prices in my shopping cart were all different and no free stuff!:mad: Anyone know what happened between last night and tonight?:confused:
 
Ann your cards are awesome - those would definitely ones people would want to keep.
 
Dena, call HO because I think I got mine quicker than 5 days. I think the letter or e-mail or however they inform us goes out within 5 days.
 
Angela- I put this in the other thread where you asked about it, but sometimes the specials VP offers are limited time. If the end date passed, the price would go up. The good thing is that if you click through another sale link, the price should go back down. Just save the cards in your cart or your portfolio.
