the cards my local cvs sell are ran through the site www.greendotonline.com Ironically enough, I went to Target today and magically the cards appeared at my store lol...I bought 2 just incase I need them lol....but am seriously considering this prepaid credit card thing
Its the same card i have but the websight u have is just to tell you about the card and where to buy it etc. but the web sight bubblegum shows is where you go to look up your account past transactions, pending transactions etc...

I don't know how any one eles card works...but, you pay about 10 bucks for the card itself.  Its 4.99 a month to have the card, taken off the balance of the card.  To add money to the card, you buy a reload pack, and that costs 4.95 each time you want to add money to it.  You take the reload pack, call the 1800#, enter your the prepaid credit card#, the verification code from the reload pack, and the money is transfered to the card, then you are free to use it.  I have the greendot master card-their website is http://www.mymccard.com/a/english/index.aspx They do have locations all across the US you can get it from.  Just click on retail locations to find out where.  Hope this helps.

How would u recharge one of these pre-paid cards? I don't have a bank account or any other credit cards but it sounds like a good idea. Also I live in the U.P. of Michigan and the only place we have here that I could get one at is Radio Shack or K-Mart has a Western Union. And me and my hubby always have to give someone else money to order us something online and it would be nice to get it ourselves LOL

after buying the reload packet for the card, you do have to call an 800# to attach the money to your account, but haveing to pay 4.95 a month for the card  and 4.95 to put money on it each time....I consider that very little hassle for stuff I need a credit card for..like I said, I do have a couple regular credit cards, but those only get used maybe ever 3 or 4 months for stuff that come up like car repairs or whatever..we use the prepaid card at stores, online, just about everywhere.  I like knowing how much is on there and knowing we can't spend more than we can afford. yes get one.

the card yo get at cvs does take about a week to come but once you buy it you can activate it online and you will get all the info you need to use the card right away!!!!!

yes you are right!! I forgot to mention that.. as soon as you activate it you can use it right away online but have to wait a week for the actual card. :o

like i said i have a prepaid mastercard from cvs. I love it!!! i dont see any downside to it .. they do charge u 4.95 a month for handling the card and 4.95 everytime you reload money onto it. but compared to finance charges i think thats nothing, and remember this... Everything you buy with it is paid in full !!!! I love knowing that.

I have one.  Every payday, (every 2 weeks) I put on my prepaid mastercard $100 bucks.  I use my regular credit cards for emergencies like unexpected car repairs or like last weekend when my fridge went kaput and we needed to buy a new one.  My husband and I use the prepaid credit card for things like pogo, netflix and buying stuff online.  Its really not a bad deal at all.  We love it.

Ok...so I checked at my CVS.  They have a prepaid mastercard.....you pay $9.99 for the card and it takes about a week to get in the mail.  Then everytime you reload it they charge you $4.95.  I didn't think that was a bad deal.  I'm really thinking about getting one.  Has anyone ever seen a downside to them?  It says they're good like for a year unless you don't use it for 60 consecutive days.  I don't think I'd have a problem with that.  But I think it might be a great think with Christmas coming up...would love to do some shopping online lol...Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!
