I only use my pre-paid credit card for online purchases.
Its easy. Just pay careful attention to the fees to add money. otherwise its just like a regular credit card.
You can add money by:
mailing a money order
send a moneygram (quickest)
payroll deductions
I use Rushcard Visa Prepaid
You can buy one at walmart, walgreens, super markets, etc. When you go to buy your products online, put in the numbers like you would a regular card, and when it asks for the name on the card you just put your name. Make sure you have enough money on the card for shipping costs and other fees.
yes you can use a prepaid or git card online but to make sure the merchants doesnt decline the card you should register the card
in your name
read the following it Using Visa or American Express Gift Cards to Shop Online
question.jpgOne of the most asked gift card questions, particularly on Yahoo Answers is whether you can use a Visa or any other bank issued gift card (American Express, Discover, or MasterCard) to shop online. The answer is yes.
However, there are additional steps you have to take to prevent your card from being rejected by the merchant. The problem with using Visa (or any other bank issued) gift card online is that there is no verifiable name and address associated with the card. When buying things online, most merchants want your name and billing address to match the name and address you have on file with your card (credit, debit, or bank gift card) issuer.
Therefore, before you use your Visa or other bank issued gift card, call the merchant/financial institution that issued the card or go to their website and add your name and address to the card. This will ensure that when you use the card online, the name and address you provide to the merchant for billing will match the name and address on file for the card. Once you have registered your card, you can use it online just like you would use a regular credit card.
If your information (name and address) has changed since you registered your Visa gift card, call the card issuer or go online and update your information before you use the card online.
