You Decide When to Foot the Bill

Moms of tweens and teens get ready because there is now a new way they can spend your hard earned money. Meet www.billmyparents.com. It is a new online payment system that allows teens to buy things online and parents to later okay the purchase using a detailed approval process.

BillMyParents allows teens to have the freedom to shop online, but parents still control what is purchased. No more handing over a credit card. With BillMyParents, confidential credit card information is never shared with a child. Driven through simple email alerts, parents approve or deny each item a child requests through a secure account on the BillMyParents website. Tweens/teens can shop online either via BillMyParents enabled social networks, virtual worlds or online gaming sites. BillMyParents has also launched a shopping site powered by Amazon.com at www.bmpshopping.com.
