What is the best prepaid card to use for int'l charges?  By best I mean free to get, no monthly fees, no inactivity fees and easy to load from a regular account. And reasonable conversion rate. (can you tell how cheap I am?)

Netspend was recommended by a vendor and I think someone else here recommended a green card I think.

I'm still trying to set my regular CC to the country I'm purchasing from (they think I'm there) but in case that becomes a problem I'd like a backup.

Thanks

 
I just had a long conversation with my credit union.  They told me to call them as soon as a transaction is made and set up a travel strategy.  This lets them know there will be a charge for x amount of dollars being charged by (name the place uses) and it should go through no problem.   Mine was set up for a week but if it goes longer just call CS at my credit union and they should be able to do it.

I had been told by multiple people to set up my credit card like I was traveling in the country where the charge will be.  The only problem with that is that if a harge goes through in the US it could muck up the works.

I told contact another credit card I use and they pretty much told me the same thing.

Because I'm so cheap, doing it this way appeals to me because there's only a small fee associated with the international transaction.   Vs some debit cards that charge $1 for the transaction plus 3.5%.   

I'm doing that now with PP2e so hope it works.

 
Any one know a good prepaid credit card i can get to use with a popular vendor on the dbg banner my debit card won't go through and have been advised to use this method communication been good between them just could do without the delay which i know they don't want either ? Oh I in the UK by way the one they advised is netspend but it won't let me put in my postcode as the box require s a zip code and won't allow letters to be put in any help would be appreciated people . Thanks

I have had tons of problems with my card and Doc. I call them and give them all the info and fraud still stops it but he's really patient.  I also have a Chase card through Amazon which I'm going to use on my next order. I have to call them first and give them the heads up but they say no  problems.   It's like a double edged sword.  You want fraud to be on the alert (someone used my card to by a flight on air serbie) but if I call them and tell them about a charge then there shoudl be no issues.

I did just use my card for apurchase in australia.  I was on the line with my credit union while I did it and there were no issues so who knows.  I think Visa has a pre paid international card.

I use NETSPEND with PPE2U,

most u.s debit cards from your bank will not work, unless you unlock it, plus i prefer not to use my real debit card/ credit card just in cash anyone charges more than what i paid for or try's to clear me out of funds, so i use the re loadable NETSPEND, put enough in it for my transaction, and not  worry if someone try's to charge 500$ instead of $40 , so be safe get a re loadable! 

 
I like using netspend as well.  You can use netspend prepaid cards for basically anything except loading money from the netspend card to another non-netspend account.  I like to use my netspend prepaid card whenever I don't want to get my regular bank accounts involved with transactions.  You can never be too safe these days.

Hi there, if your based in the UK you can use Swirlcard MasterCard. 

I have used it in the past with no problems.

Hope that helps some.

  1. ontovzik @ ontovzik: When I had long term shingles, lasting two months. All he could give me was a 10 day supply of dilaudid. He looked at the ground while we were talking about it. I could tell he was ashamed but it was the legislature and the governor that tied his hands. He was very upset that non-medical political people, the media, and the scared public were controlling how he treated his patients. Someday those people will need meds and a hospital bed and they will be gone.
  2. ontovzik @ ontovzik: I had a great doctor, he had the true gift of a healer and he stayed on top of all the science. He straight up told me that for many people opiods work for managing short and long term pain.
  3. ontovzik @ ontovzik: He peed it in the snow in my backyard.
  4. WTF7218 @ WTF7218: @xenxra 😆😂. Yes, but only a few brave souls will ever find the number. You must first order a Dirty Shirley from the bartender. Then you must discreetly take the cocktail napkin from under your drink and unfold it. There you will find the map to the location of the phone number, and clues to decipher the code that it is written in.
  5. xenxra @ xenxra: he left his phone number scribbled in a stall at the pub three blocks down
  6. aBBazaBBa123 @ aBBazaBBa123: @rockychoc How do I contact you?
  7. N @ NYStateofMind: @Alkazar I would try one of those easy online ones .. reddit gives useful info about that
  8. Alkazar @ Alkazar: @NYStateofMind I dont really have a history of abusing things, my docotr is just really stingy. I am thinking of switching.
  9. C @ Cheesus: Thanks xenxra
  10. xenxra @ xenxra: @Cheesus yeah, use snote
  11. P @ psychedpsych: Trump is cracking down….
  12. P @ psychedpsych: Hackers are the scum of the earth
  13. N @ NYStateofMind: so it was easy bc of my history
  14. N @ NYStateofMind: I didnt really tell him but he knew I needed a new script since my dr went to jail
  15. N @ NYStateofMind: @xenxra I was on Adderall since 15 years ago so my dr prescribed that w no problems and then when I lost my best friend my doctor rxed the valiums but
  16. C @ Cheesus: Temp.pm down for anyone else?
  17. xenxra @ xenxra: @NYStateofMind my doctor's have always been pretty open minded if i can actually come in and explain the pharmacological action of the drugs im seeking instead of just telling them why i think i should be prescribed. the only time it didn't work out for me is when i was trying pharmaceuticals for depression ten years ago and suggested they let me try testosterone instead (turns out i was hypogonadal so they made a mistake denying my request at face value)
  18. T @ Testisthebest: Even down here in Florida when the pill mill docs all switched over to Suboxone and/or retired you can still find some pretty liberal docs but you gotta know what to look for. Mine does "pain management, detox, anxiety,etc. And no insurance. My doc writes me 60 5mg Valium, 14 2mg Xanax and asked if I had ever tried adderal to get more focus at work as I told him I run my own business.
  19. N @ NYStateofMind: @Alkazar do they know your history? Like I dont tell my doctor anything about myself except what they need to know,...I was able to get my dr to rx the highest dose of adderall along with valiums ..... if they dont know your history or there is no history I would just come out and ask what is the reason for their mistreatment.... they have no problem billing your insurance or taking a payment for the visit
  20. T @ Turbo259: @Layne_Cobain Thank you fam
