Anyone have any suggestions on prepay cc's? I don't want to use my own but have no clue about the prepay ones. Can I buy one online or do I have to go to s store? And are there fee's for them?

I went to walmart and got one. There is no fees for using the card just fees for loading them.

Yes, Squishy does, we just ask that you use them responsibly (make sure you have the set amount on the card, ect) it is a big deal if you are signing up for offers and then canceling immediately. And, sometimes the thought behind pre-paid visa cards are that you aren't really interested in the company/product. This is why some sites don't allow them. Personally I feel differently, I know it's scary to give someone all your bank info or CC info for a product you are simply trying out. Then if you like it I'm sure you'll switch your payment info to your CC. It makes sense to me.

Not sure, you can try it out. That offer credits pretty well.

Thanks. I just wanted to use one because I was using my own and after a month I decided to cancel one and they tried to bill me again for it after I had already canceled.

I understand this isn't Squishy's fault and there's nothing the admins here can do about it, but I just wanted to throw in that I'm sad that some of the offers don't allow pre-paid gift cards. I've missed out on products and serives I would have liked to try, but don't feel comfortable giving out my cc info to places I'm just testing.
