I've been trying to get a good debit card and I found this program... Can any tell me if its real?

Question

I Figure someone has seen this debit card program. Maybe you can tell me if this is real. I need a debit card, because I'll be travelling a lot. I'm preparing to do behind the wheel training with Swift trucking - to be an over the road truck driver.

I don't expect to get back to my (former) home often enough to pick up bills Besides, I won't have any. And until I make enough money to get a laptop, I couldn't keep up with them, if I did. Due to my divorce & filing bankruptcy, my credit is screwed anyway. So credit cards are out.

Yes I know It's a mess. I hope it can get better from here.

Either way, I just want to know if you can get a debit card where you don't have to have a bank acount? They claim 100% approval. But, there is always a catch. Beside I won't have the opportunity to get online to deal with this if it's a scam. I just want to know if it's real. I only have a few days. Here's is the program. http://advantagevisa.120bucks.com

Thanks for any advice.

Answer 1

I also used to drive over the road and what I did was open up a checking account at our local bank and received their debit card. It costs me $1 a month and I had my company direct deposit my check. Since it was a Visa Debit card it could be used anywhere Visa is taken (which is most everywhere). Most banks have the option now where you can get on-line to check your account or you can call them to see what your balance is.

Just remember the old adage that if something sounds to good to be true that it usually is...

Good Luck on your new career....

Answer 2

I am also a OTR driver with 12 years experience, Western union has a prepaid debit card that isn't too bad. They charge $4.95 to reload it & $0.99 every time you use it but it still comes in handy since alot of truck stops have western union so you can reload it there. If Swift pays you by Comdata or something like that it will be perfect. Just go to westernunion.com & click on the prepay tab & follow the directions & you will recieve you're card in about 1 week or less with you're name on it & no bank account needed.

Answer 3

You can go to your local Safeway and buy a pre paid VISA. You can put up to $9,999.99 on it. There is a limit as to how many times you can re-load it but you can always just buy another. This is the best thing if you are not able to get a bank account somewhere that offers a debit or atm card. Good luck.

Why don't you just bank with Wells Fargo or Bank of America and get a debit card from them?
