Any cards that you can put cash on?

Question

I really want to be able to put my money on a card but not a credit card because if I get a credit card I know I will overspend and I dont want to get into that mess. So can anyone suggest a type of card I can buy at a store and put my money on? I want a Visa Rushcard but I am not getting one yet.

Answer 1

I got my kid a green dot one a while ago so he could buy his games and stuff online. I put his allowance on it and he puts whatever money he gets from relatives and such on it. Now that he has seen his balance grow he has turned into quite the rabid little saver. He has had no issues with the company. Most grocery stores have the cards.

But there are fees. Now that is all fine and well since it is better than paying interest on a regular card.

I have though recently suggested that I open a bank account for him and he gets a debit card. They have the visa logo or whatnot on the front so you can use them just like a credit card....... and if you have the money you can pay. If not you can't. That way he won't have to pay the fees.

Go to Wal-Mart... they have a c**p load by the customer service desk.
