Title: Warning stay away from Pre Paid Visa, Mastercard, Amex etc
Post by: thecatinthehat101 on July 03, 2013, 08:28 pm
I just wanted to share my mistakes with everyone. Stay away from any of the pre paid Visa. Mastercard, Amex cards sold at stores like Walmart or in other retail stores. They don't work with Paypal, they don't work for the post office, they don't work in a lot of places on the internet even though they are supposed to work. Believe me I tried a few different ones if that's the route your gonna go get a green dot money pack and save yourself the trouble.

Green Pack is the way to go even though it can be a little pricey its the best alternative for that route.

Those prepays will put a hold on $10 or $20 more than what the merchant bills, at least with restaurants and even gas stations. The hold can last days.

Keep your receipts (unless the cards are filched).
