Someone posted a site about a week or so ago that in which you could complete one offer, get this really crappy digital camera (world's smallest) or video games/8'' TV. Anyone have the link? Any help would be appreciated.

Yep, its actually pretty cool. Takes 20 pictures of decent quality, and works as a crappy webcam.

What offer did you do, since it seems like all the offers there suck ^_^

I did some crap trial thing, I don't remember the specifics but I used a giftcard I got for my pbirthday to pay so I didn't get a buttload of charges after I didn't bother to cancel.

I have a 20 dollar Simon Giftcard, should I use that to sign up for the AOL thing? Even if I don't cancel it, they still won't be able to find a way to charge me some other way if the giftcard is used up right?

Nope, they'll just try to charge and once its denied they cancel you; becuase the card isn't associated with your real financial information.

Yeah i got my copy of scarface from them and by the way its a pre paid debit card. Theres really no such thing as a pre paid credit card since you can't earn credit from a pre paid anything.

Well there isn't such thing as prepaid credit cards, still, as credit cards can go over if you pay back with interest, and debit can't.

You don't understand either.
Credit cards are borrowing money. There is no "over", every time you purchase something with a credit card you'll have to pay it back, plus about thirty percent interest. You can't have a "prepaid" credit card because... well, thats just not a "credit card"
It does function in the same way, except for the actual payment system, so it can be considered one.

What i said also is true you can't earn credit with a pre paid card it also can't hurt your credit. There are many reasons why there is no such thing as a pre paid "credit" card. Just becouse I gave a reason you didn't think about dosen't mean i don't know what the diffrence betwein a credit and debit card.

Then I'll explain.
A debit card is really the same thing as a credit card, functionally, but instead of borrowing money from CitiGroup, ect; you are using existing funds from a checking account and therefore you pay out of a balance and pay no fees or are obligated to pay anything back
With a credit card you are borrowing money from a financial institution, and your credit rating is determined by how quickly and how often you pay up your credit card balance.
