ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 22, 2001

When the Baltimore Ravens and New York Giants strap on their helmets in Tampa on January 28 for Super Bowl XXXV, Ortonville, Missouri resident and Aspire(R) Visa(R) cardholder Heather Oberry will be there compliments of Visa U.S.A., the National Football League and her Aspire Visa credit card from CompuCredit Corporation (Nasdaq: CCRT).

Heather was selected from all the entries during Visa's NFL Sweepstakes at participating sporting goods stores. From September 1, 2000 to October 31, 2000, cardholders using their Visa cards to make a purchase at participating merchants were automatically entered in the contest.

Heather's prize package includes round-trip air transportation for two to Tampa, hotel accommodations, two tickets to Super Bowl XXXV and a $2,000 Visa NFL gift card.

"With the growing demand for Super Bowl tickets, this kind of trip has truly become a once-in-a-lifetime event for most people. I'm sure she'll have a terrific time."

"Visa continues to leverage its NFL partnership by providing opportunities for fans to connect with the sport," said George Perry, director of sponsorship marketing, Visa U.S.A. "We are excited to work with CompuCredit to give Aspire Visa cardholders a chance go to the Super Bowl."
