pre paid credit card

[40kguy]

My premium is about to run out and i want to renew it. I dont have a credit card and people say you can get premium with those pre paid ones. 2 questions

1. Can I buy one that has enough money on it to where i can get premium including taxes?
2. Where can i get one?

[iamkoolerthanu]

I have bought a 30 dollar Visa gift card from my bank and it has worked once, and then another time I bought one and it didn't work here.. not sure what the difference wad though

[Kaiiidera]

Yeah, I've the same question. I know CVS sells the American Express cards which this site doesn't seem to take, bleh, but I wasn't sure about VISA. Those should work?

I just bought the Visa card and it was declined :/ It's good, it's brand new. What can I do, does anyone know if the link Eddie2 posted is something I can use? I don't want to waste $25

[danfrank]

taxes ? not 25 dollars anymore, their charging tax now ?

[VampireM]

could be the canadian dollar is worth more then the US so u would need to account for that maybe? best bet is to open an eticket found in the help tap at the top of the page

[SirSebstar]

I dont know anything about temp cards, but cc does not charge taces in addition to its 25 dollars, its supposed to pay taxes out of those 25 already..

[AndyDufresne]

Right, CC will only charge you $25, however, the company makes the card, or a bank that does the transaction, may, and probably will, charge you additional fees. So if you purchase a $25 card, you may be unable to execute the purchase because of those additional fees by other operators.

Alright, so here's what happened in case anyone else wants to do a prepaid.

I bought the $25 Vanilla Visa prepaid card, right? It cost me $28.40 or something with this $3 something activation fee you pay at the counter. I later last night found out that the Visa prepaid cards don't work online. There's no information attached to the card so when they verify it, it has nothing to verify so it doesn't work.


Yeah, so, wasted $3 so far.


I go back to CVS, use the Visa card to buy an American Express card for $25, pay the new activation fee, and go home. I spend legit, 20 minutes getting bounced around on the phone trying to get a hold of someone, when finally my information goes through. Put down my name and number, good, go to CC's website, put in the numbers, and no good. Found out later that Paypal take out $1 for the transaction (because it was American Express I couldn't just use CC's website). I tried paypal 3 times, meaning they took out $3 <___<;


Apparently I'll "get my $3 in 3 - 8 business days." But I'm just gonna eat another $3 and go back to CVS, buy a $50 American Express card, call the number and put my information down, and THEN I'm pretty sure it should work because there's just no more reasons it shouldn't. e___e

Many of the big retailers sell them. You can also get them online.

Also there is a difference between a Visa/MC prepaid credit/debit card and a Visa/MC gift card.

Buying prepaid credit cards online is normally for parents buying their kids one...

[Kaiiidera]

I don't have a credit card, and my parents refuse to buy anything online. They're afraid of the internet, or people stealing their identity...etc. So I had to do something. Anyway, I'd recomend an American Express Pre-Paid card. From my experience, it was the easiest.

nettellar is very easy to use and has a minimal charge to deal with.

they're excellent when using your card abroad in seemingly doggy internet cafes.

There is also PayPal, which I use for all my online puchases. You link a bank account to it (it is completely secure) and then you transfer money from your account as you use it. So if you only want/need $25, you only transfer $25 and once it clears (takes 6 days for Americans I believe, 8 for Canadians) you use it for whatever you want, and most sites accept PayPal, including CC and even EBay or kajiji

The thing i use for online payments are those two:

1) iDeal (iDeal works only if you have online banking, you log in to your bank account and you make a transaction to the company through a secure link that takes you to your bank, the payment is done instantly with no extra charges, not every website has it yet tho, but more and more website add this option) (conquer club currently does not support this option)
2) Paypal. (you can load your paypal with cash (from your bank, note it usually takes a few days to load), and use that cash to pay directly, you can also link a credit card to your paypal, and in some cases you can pay with paypal, and pay back to paypal later. (they wll give you some 'credit'). It's a very easy payment method for nearly every situation (conquerclub supports this option)

i have NEVER had any problem with those two, and i buy a lot of stuff online.

i don't have a credit card either.

If all else fails, try a prepaid mastercard
