Credit Card, Prepaid Card Offers, No Bank
Account Cards:
When looking for a no credit check, no bank
account, guaranteed card offer the choices are many. There is a Green Dot, the
Wal-mart money card, Visa and MasterCard
prepaid card offers and
many more choices. Getting a pre-paid card once approved, can take less than 7
to 10 days on average. Using these cards have helped millions of people stay
credit card debt free but they allow the cardholder to use plastic for spending.
Purchases can be used locally or online, but the card must have the money loaded
or pre-funded before making purchases.
When looking online for these offers, websites
usually have the agreement and terms. This makes it easy when trying to decide
on one card. These cards may also be called "money cards". Wal-Mart has a money
card offer. When the card does not require a bank account, then the card can not
be funded using a bank account. However, some issuers allow direct deposit from
employers as a way to pre-fund the card. To load money, for example to a
guaranteed card, it must be done following the card's instructions. The card
could be funded or loaded at a retail store, or some other participating
business.
All cards have some type of fees and it is
important to know about them. For example, there can be fees to fund the card,
ATM fees, card replacement fees, monthly charges, inquiry fees, and charges for
ordering extra cards. These are just a few ways there can be added charges. Read
the terms and conditions before applying for any card offer and always get the
facts about all charges.
