hey people I was wondering if anyone had any experience with deluxe-card or any other prepaid visa cards. I'd like to get one to use for offers but I don't want to do it only to have them not work with most offers. I read somewhere that many offers that are subscription based services won't accept a prepaid credit card. not sure how accurate this is
thanks in advanced
also...with a prepaid credit card they can't charge u right? I mean they are meant to be gift cards so theres no way they could charge the original buyer beyond the initial limit correct?
thanks

Yup, anything meant as a gift card cannot be charged beyond the limit of the balance on the card. If you do try to do this, they will most likely reject your card.

I just shot the question to the deluxe-card help email.
it looks like the way to go, costs 6 bucks for the card plus the balance up to 250. Great way to do offers without getting screwed.

Uh dude, that's considered frauding the companies.

how so? the prepaid lasts for 12 months. Its just so I don't have to give out my real CC# to all these random companies and shit. It's not to screw anyone over

anytime you use a prepaid card with less money on it than the ammount that subscription will cost, then you are essentially just planning on canceling, which is not what you are supposed to do.

well ive just experienced some problems with the simon cards that ive ordered for my friends
they dont work on freebidding, ultraburn, poker expert, and a couple others
this is a problem because those are good offers
they work on stamps, complete home, drive america, tickle IQ, become a star
