Erie Insurance's New Emergency Cash Card Increases Convenience for Policyholders

ERIE, Pa., Nov 24, 2008 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ --
In the wake of a significant property
loss like a fire, the last thing you'd want to do is wait in line to cash a
check.

Now, Erie Insurance offers its policyholders pre-paid emergency cash
cards, which can be used to purchase personal belongings such as clothing and
food and pay for hotel stays after a loss. Previously, a check or cash
advance was provided to cover these expenses.
"Our policyholders have said they'd appreciate the convenience of a card
like this if they experienced a loss," said Matt Myers, senior vice president
and division officer, Claims, "and we're pleased to make it available."
The pre-paid cash cards can be used anywhere Visa is accepted to:

-- Buy groceries, gas, clothes and more
-- Make purchases in a retail store, by phone, mail or online
-- Withdraw cash at ATMs that have the Visa or Plus symbols
-- Reserve a hotel room or rental car

"This new cash card reflects Erie Insurance's longstanding commitment to
being above all in service," added Myers.
