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!
