Where can I get an instant prepaid debit card? I tried searching on simon.com but there are no simon malls near me.

yeah I did that too but all that kept popping were prepaid cards that required a bank account. I'm talking about something similar to simon gift cards where you just deposit cash and get your card right there.

i went to my local CVS pharmacy and got a prepaid visa/mastercard.
you have to buy a peice of paper for ten bux and then tell the register guy how much u want to deposit onto it. It's called green dot. after u have bought the paper, visa/mastercard, will send u the card in the mail after a week. (but i think to have that happen, you have to go to there website and activate the card and THEN it'll come in the mail). i bought mine on feb 13th, but i still haven't gotten it, BUT i'm also lazy and haen't checked mystatus on the card with the site...so yeah but the good thing is that u don't need a bank account or anything! hope that helps!

epassporte

instant

cost - $5 to put any money on it

if you make a card and put $1000 on it, cost is $5

if you make one and put $20 on it, then $20 next week, it costs $5 each time to reload it.

you can send money to members for a .25 cent fee.

so sometimes look to trade epassporte for paypal if you can

you can make free gift cards for friends. put any ammount on them and give them to your friend, the same epassporte you have, except in their name and an account for them.

This is what I plan on doing as I MIGHT get back into freebies after a yearlong break. For a DIY site such as the YF Direct with no OOD, what is a good/minimum amount I should get on the card? Thanks.
