one of my friends said there is a fee to start these prepaid credit cards anyone know how much it is?

bubblegum · January 15, 2006, 07:35:11 AM

Typically its about 9.95 to set up the card and 4.95 a month after that. And a 2nd card, like one for your hubby, is a one time 7.95 fee. And its about 4.95 to add money to it, the least you can add is $20. However, given the convince of the card and how much credit cards charge in interest, its really a good deal for me. Hubby and I have 2 regular credit cards with a low balance on them that we only bring out for car repairs and emergencies and stuff. We each have a prepaid credit card that we put 50-100 bucks on each payday and use it for stuff like pogo, netflix and to buy stuff on line. It's actually a great deal if you want to want to buy stuff on line. You can even pay for stuff like rental cars or airplane tickets if you have enough money on it, even though I've never done that. We have used it to successfully pay our electric bill with the card once though, just to see if you could and we did. :)

what happens if i just use it once do i still have to pay 4.95 a month

bubblegum · January 15, 2006, 07:45:54 AM

yes unless you cancel it right after you use it to pay for pogo.

jamie9999 · January 15, 2006, 07:49:34 AM

how would u cancel it?

bubblegum · January 15, 2006, 07:50:46 AM

when you activiate the card it tells you how to cancel it

jamie9999 · January 15, 2006, 07:51:54 AM

i would cancel it by throwing it away lol. is it hard to cancel?

bubblegum · January 15, 2006, 07:52:52 AM

oh not not hard at all, supposed to take less than a mintue

jamie9999 · January 15, 2006, 07:54:14 AM

also do u have to fill out a form to get this card. Is there any personal information on that form?

maria · January 15, 2006, 07:55:54 AM

Good question Jamie

bubblegum · January 15, 2006, 07:57:24 AM

your name, home address, birthday, ssn...that kind of stuff. Unless you go to the mall or bank or something and buy a prepaid gift card with the visa or mastercard logo on it.

steve5320 · January 15, 2006, 08:00:25 AM

I was reading on the Visa website lastnight that you can buy gift cards also, it costs between $2.50 and $5 to activate the card and then whatever amount you want on it up to $500. They work like a gift card to any major store. I'm going to be checking this out on Monday and will post what i find out. O0
