Hi all. My bank card blocks my purchase from Toque – but Roderick was very helpful and I was able to pay by wire transfer. Does anyone know a way to purchase from Toque from inside the US other than by bank card or wire transfer?
Yes, I buy the “NetSpend” prepaid reloadable Visa Cards from Walmart. The only draw back is a total of $6.00 dollars, for the card fees. If you don’t check your balance at the ATM, balance can be checked free over the phone.
Fee one is a nearly $4.oo fee to load the funds at the Walmart counter. When you load $36.oo dollars on the card, with the $4.00 fee, it’s $40.oo total.
Fee two, is $1.95 charged at time of purchase, so that means you’ve got about $34.00 to spend, out of the original Total of $40.00, considering the nearly $6.00 dollars in card fees.
JUST MAKE SURE YOU NEVER BUY A CARD FROM (GREEN DOT), THEY ARE A TOTAL RIP OFF. SOMETIMES GREEN DOT EVEN HIDES THERE NAME INSIDE OF THE PACKAGE, BECOUSE SO MANY KNOW BETTER. The last GreenDot card I got I lost the whole $30.00 dollars plus purchase price. I didn’t even realize it was a GreenDot rip off card BECOUSE THEY HID THERE NAME INSIDE THE SEALED CARD PACKAGE.
I only trust “NetSpend”, all there fees are stated up front, and they never took extra money from me. I use NetSpend VISA anywhere that you can use a Visa Card. And you get a permanent card in mail with your name on it, and can reload it a thousand times. Or you can get a new card every time, same cost either way. You can find them near the gift card rack in the store, just make sure it’s NetSpend Visa reloadable card. I almost forgot it’s called NetSpend!
Thank you, I appreciate it.
Yes sir, I even save old NetSpend cards that are no longer active, and I use them when I’m offered free trials over the internet, they want a credit card number before you can start the free trial. You see I would never use a card number physically attached to a bank. And also the card doesn’t get charged untill the free trial period is over, so you don’t have to cancel trial to avoid getting charges, if there is not funds on the card.
If I decide that I want to subscribe, then I will change the payment method to a card with funds available.
I’m still bitter over getting cheated by GreenDot cards. They actually got me a couple times. They took out for hidden fees the one time so I didn’t have enough money left for my auto insurance and it got cancelled becouse of them.
I never had a problem with NetSpend they post all there fees on the outside of package so you plan around them.
I know on most UK online banking app’s you can change setting for spending abroad and gambling worth a look to see if your bank supports such feature’s where you are.
No my bank won’t, I’m a homeless bum. I’m just sitting here grinding some English pipe tobacco, I figured maybe the Latakia would make an interesting snuff. The only other stuff I got chokes you when you sniff the snuff, the stuff is home ground from 5 brothers pipe tobacco, I have an order on the way from Roderick tho, so it’s all good, I got something to look forward too.
