Hey,
Does anyone know of a prepaid credit card that does not require a social security number or anything that is too personal like that. Thx.

No [bdd34acc891]prepaid[/bdd34acc891] card requires a social security number. e.g. webcerts, ePassporte, Simon Gift cards etc

mrox,
actually the prepaid mastercards that are sold at the coinstar machines (the ones in the grocery store where u put change in and cash comes out), require a social security number to activate.

Really? Wow, I didn't know that.
I don't know why they would need your social security number. It's not like they are doing a credit history check.
But, I guess if you go to your bank they can setup a prepaid card. Or, just 7-11 or the mall for that matter. I think the credit union check cards also work as a prepaid debit card since they don't do overdraft fees but just decline if the balance is too low to pay what is being requested (or maybe just some credit union cards).

overdraft fee? social security number? why do I have a feeling you want a CC # to buy something you have no intention of paying for! that's not good at all.
