Stockback Relaunches with Revolutionary Rebate Credit Card
ATLANTA, GA (ContentDesk) June 11, 2004 -- Vesdia Corporation, the nation's leading microinvesting technology company, announced today the relaunch of the Stockback rewards program (http://www.Stockback.com), a dramatically enhanced version of the world's first "consumer stock ownership" program.
Originally launched in June 2000, Stockback had previously enabled consumers to build their personal savings by earning shopping rebates of up to 25% at 75 merchant partners, or through the use of a 1% rebate credit card.
Today, in addition to a complete revision of the Stockback website, the newly expanded program now features nearly 500 merchant partners and a no annual fee program credit card featuring up to a 2% rebate at more than 20 million locations worldwide.Vesdia has also greatly expanded the number of investment options available to program participants.
Traditionally through the Stockback program, members were only able to direct their rebates into an S&P 500 Index Mutual Fund.
With the relaunch of the program, participants now have the ability to direct their rebates into virtually any mutual fund or brokerage account, or simply receive them in the form of a check.
"The original Stockback program was a revolutionary advance in the microinvesting concept.
Today I believe we have taken that idea to the next level with a greatly expanded program and a highly competitive rebate credit card," says Peter Davis, President and Chief Executive Officer of Vesdia Corporation.According to a recent report by Financial Research Corporation, merchant and credit card rebate programs in the U.S. have the potential to represent an incremental inflow of $1.1 billion per year into banks and investment management firms. "Putting money aside towards important financial goals is a difficult problem faced by most people," says Jordan Goodman, an eighteen-year veteran of Money Magazine and author of "Everyone's Money Book," a best-selling book on personal finance.
"While Stockback does not alleviate the need for traditional contributions towards one's financial goals, it does help people become more disciplined investors and take advantage of dollar cost averaging.
Clearly, this is a program everyone working towards financial independence should join."About Vesdia Corporation Headquartered in Atlanta, Vesdia is the nation's leading microinvesting technology company.

The sales forecast is typically the starting point of a financial forecasting exercise. Procurement software plays a pivotal role in this regard. Most of the financial variables are projected in relation to the estimated level of sales. Hence, the accuracy of the financial forecast depends critically on the accuracy of the sales forecast.
Sales forecasts may be prepared for varying planning horizons to serve different purposes. A sales forecast for a period of 3-5 years, or for even longer durations, may be developed mainly to aid investment planning.
