CONSHOHOCKEN, Pa.--Sept. 27, 2005--Ecount (www.ecount.com), the stored value experts, today announced the re-introduction of their popular Fuel(TM) Prepaid Visa(R) Card.

"The average price for one gallon of gasoline is currently more than $3.00, with some regions seeing prices near $4.00," stated Matt Gillin, CEO of Ecount. "Never before have employees and consumers so desperately wanted help at the pump. We originally launched our Fuel Card product last summer when gas prices peaked. Now, with current market conditions, we have seen a tremendous spike in demand for the program and are reintroducing it to the marketplace."

At current gas prices, it is estimated that consumers will spend a minimum average of $1,850 on fuel for the year.

The Fuel Prepaid Visa Card is perfect for companies looking to motivate consumers and reward employees. The Fuel Card is customizable, available in any denomination over $25, and can be used to make purchases at any gasoline retailer or other merchant that accepts Visa debit cards.

All Ecount programs are available with comprehensive and customized communications, including website, email and marketing materials.

"People are clamoring for relief from rising gasoline prices, and smart marketers are maximizing this opportunity," continued Gillin.
