AUTHORIZATION FORM FOR ADVANTA CORP.
DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT & STOCK PURCHASE PLAN

In order to participate in the Advanta Corp. ("Advanta") Dividend Reinvestment & Stock Purchase Plan (the "Plan") you must complete the appropriate sections of this form and return it in the enclosed envelope to the Plan's Administrator at the address shown to the left. The form appoints Mellon Bank, N.A. (the "Administrator"), as agent to invest, as indicated thereon, the cash dividends paid on shares of Advanta's Class A Common Stock ("Class A Stock") and/or Class B Common Stock ("Class B Stock") registered in your name for the purchase of whole or fractional shares of Class B Stock under the terms and conditions set forth in the Prospectus which accompanied this form. The Prospectus contains a glossary setting forth the definitions of certain capitalized terms used in this form. By completing and signing this form, you certify that you have received the Prospectus and are a registered owner of at least 25 shares of each class of stock which you designate to participate in the Plan.

Please complete the appropriate sections below. If you wish to enroll both Class A and Class B Stock owned by you in the Plan for reinvestment of cash dividends thereon, you must complete both the Class A Stock section (either Box 1 or Box 2) and the Class B Stock section (either Box 3 or Box 4). If you return a signed form without selecting an investment option, you will be enrolled as having selected Full Dividend Reinvestment. If you wish to transmit certificates for shares of Class B Stock to be held by the Administrator either as Participating Shares or for Safekeeping only please complete either Box 5 or Box 6. This service is optional; you are not required to transmit certificates to participate in the Plan.

Check all boxes that are appropriate to your choice and complete all related blanks.

TO ENROLL CLASS A STOCK:

(Note: Dividends on shares of Class A Stock enrolled in the Plan will be reinvested in Class B Stock)

Box 2 / / PARTIAL DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT - Please apply dividends on ________ shares of CLASS A STOCK (must be a whole number) registered in my name and all shares of Class B Stock credited to my Plan account to the purchase of Class B Stock*.

* Selection of this option will not provide for reinvestment of dividends on shares of Class B Stock owned by you directly, but it will cover shares of Class B Stock you acquire through the Plan and leave on deposit with the Administrator. 4 TO ENROLL CLASS B STOCK:

Box 3 / / FULL DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT - Please apply dividends on all shares of CLASS B STOCK now or hereafter registered in my name and all shares of Class B Stock credited to my Plan account to the purchase of Class B Stock.

I am aware that Cash Investments must not be less than $50 or more than $3,000 per calendar month. I will instruct the Administrator as to how to transmit certificates for shares purchased with Cash Investments.
