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. T @ Tinyfishnemo: Hope everyone has a good and safe weekend.
  2. T @ tylerderrden: Dunno
  3. S @ soupson: What happened to chem genie?
  4. D @ drdrizzy13: LSU is trash and has always been trash but a night game in death valley is unlike anything I've experienced. Except the first game back to the superdome reopened after Katrina destroyed it. Everybody was crying and drunk as shit lol. All time favorite in person sports moment ever.
  5. M @ meepmoopmeep: Kiffin is a traitor and he and LSU deserve each other since they’re both complete trash
  6. D @ drdrizzy13: yea he's a joke lol. Can't stand him.
  7. L @ Layne_Cobain: You know who rly sucks…lane kiffin 😂 dude is all that’s wrong with college sports or at least a big chunk of it…and he lied about being told he could still coach ole miss in the playoffs
  8. D @ drdrizzy13: Hey at least Ole Miss got in. I can't stand LSU. They really sucked this year.
  9. M @ meepmoopmeep: as an A&M fan I’m content with us missing the SECCG for that reason. Georgia about to fuck Alabama up
  10. D @ drdrizzy13: Yeah I agree if bama loses I think they are out. That would be 3 losses. I don't see a 3 loss team getting in this year.
  11. L @ Layne_Cobain: Yeah that’s why sark was pleading his case about that Texas shouldn’t be punished for scheduling a non conference game against the best team and losing if they hadn’t done that they’d probably be in but oh well way it goes there’s always gonna be a few teams who get robbed or feel they got robbed even with a 12 team playofff…if bama loses to Georgia I’d think they’d be out but who knows
  12. D @ drdrizzy13: Alabama also lost to Florida State pretty bad. Whom Florida beat. I just think if they didn't decide to play ohio state the first game. They would be in with 2 losses instead of Alabama.
  13. M @ meepmoopmeep: @drdrizzy13 Texas lost to Florida of all teams, they weren’t heading for the playoffs anyways imo. At least not this year
  14. D @ drdrizzy13: Texas is offically out of the playoffs they didn't make the top 12. I do wish they were in it. They showed up against Texas AM. But there fatal flaw was scheduling Ohio State for their opening. Which would have been great if they won but they are a 3 loss team now.
  15. L @ Layne_Cobain: Yeah idk about arch I could see him staying with Sark for another year but if he plays rly well in the playoff who knows that is if they get in
  16. D @ drdrizzy13: Man a lot of Saints fan want Arch but I think he said he is playing another year. I would take him probably. But if Texas AM QB comes out or Ohio State's I think you gotta take one if your picking top 2.
  17. L @ Layne_Cobain: Is the qb class supposed to be stacked or thin for draft in April I follow college ball but I can’t think right now I think there’s def at least a few high potential qb declaring
  18. D @ drdrizzy13: Right now I believe we pick 2nd. ATM.
  19. D @ drdrizzy13: At first I figured he might be able to do something but our position players suck. We are playing a rookie QB. O-line sucks. It needs to be blown up. I hope we tank for the first pick
  20. L @ Layne_Cobain: Hopefully you guys maybe find a solid qb option in the draft you should end up with a very good pick
