Alright, I'm looking for these questions to be answered. I've heard about this around the internet so I'm interested on whether or not other people have answers, alright here we go;

- Can anyone at any age purchase a "PrePaid Credit Card"
- Can you deposit cash from that "PrePaid Credit Card" into your "PayPal."
- Can sites accept "PrePaid Credit Cards" when purchasing items, ect.

That's about it,

Anyone know any answers, if so please post.

Thank You,
Chief.

Not really sure, you may want to ask the company you are looking at purchasing from. I am sure you can purchase at any age. However, not too sure about the paypal but you may just want to ask them about it.
 
From working at RadioShack part time if you get the green dot any age can purchase them. You can buy from any site, and the PayPal you can add to our accountl however, I do not know about "depositing" it to the account.
 
Thanks guys for the answers, but I'm still seeking one for question. If anyone ever purchased one, is there any monthly fee's, insurance deposit, or something like that? Any additional fee's other then putting the cash on the card.
 
Chief,
Are you asking about the Visa/AMEX gift cards? Or are you asking about a Secured Credit Card? There are a few differences:

A Secured Credit Card would be something you'd most likely get from your bank. It is a Credit Card in the fact that it will show up on your credit report, but it is like a checking account because you can only spend what cash you put on it.

A Gift Credit Card isn't a "Credit" card per say, just a gift card that works wherever visa/amex/etc.. is accepted.
 
Or.. are you talking about virtual credit cards? I create virtual visa card using cashu(http://www.cashu.com) cards available here in middle east. Virtual credit cards can be used in any online shops, just like a credit card, or more like a debit card. I guess paypal also should work.

Hope I am not off topic :)
 
I believe the prepaid credit cards can be entered into paypal but it will take several business-days to transfer

No idea why anyone would want to use them. Anyone know? :smash:
 
I think you can transfer funds from paypal.com to pre-paid credit cards but not sure if its the other way around. As for age, i think you must be 18 but i could be wrong. And i think you can use a pre-paid cc anywhere they accept visa, mastercard etc....

Id recommend for pre-paid cc's -> www.netspend.com
