Pre-Paid Visa Cards - Where Can I Get Them?

by David Hooper

Want to get some pre-paid Visa cards for a direct mail campaign I'm doing. Want small denominations, like $5 or so.

Any recommendations on where to purchase?

    David,

    I think most of the Visa and Master Card pre-paid will only go as small as $20
    Then, there is the purchase fee on each on of those that can be as much as $9.95 just to get the initial card. If one already had those cards there is a re-fill fee of around $4.95 - $5.95.

    You would be better off getting gift cards from the checkout stand unless you are planning on having your folks use their cards to purchase something from you online.

    If that's the case, you can just create and print your own "coupons" to be used at your site.

    Sorry for making all of the assumptions.

    Matt

    Hey David, in Canada, I get them at Mac's Milk. You should also be able to get them at 7 eleven...$10.00 to $100.

    They expire in about a year.

    Yeah, Mathews right, ther're called visa gift cards...good for any purchases.
    Make sure they are not for buying at certain stores and that they have the 3 digit code on the back....important.

      Doesnt it cost like $3-5 just to buy the card + the $$ you install on it?

      Would a Starbucks card have the same purpose for your campaign?

      I can send $25 AMEX and $5-50 Starbucks cards via my system - at only $2 per card activation fee + the cards value.

    If you live in the U.S. Then im sure you can easily get them.

    I have gotten them as gifts before and there great if i was you i would go for the visa pre paid cards just because you can use them any where.

    There is a big real estate company called simon malls i think they probably own 500+ malls in the united states they are billion dollar company. Anyway in there malls they sell pre paid visa simon gift cards.

    Go to simonmalls.com i think and you can search where any of there malls are if there is one near you i would recommend you head over to one.
