Anonymous Prepaid Cards And Where You Can Use Them

By Marta Harrison


There are many places where you are allowed to use anonymous prepaid cards. These cards kind of work the same like a debit card; it is your money just being utilized in another way. These cards come under the debit card program; you may use them as gift cards, or you may use them for other purchases such as gas.

Anonymous Prepaid Debit Cards Anonymous prepaid debit cards or anon cards are actually gift cards. These anonymous prepaid cards can be availed by a person you gift it to. Let's say you buy a gift card worth $100 for a friend; the gift card can be of any store which offers them.

You may use these cards as a debit card too, with a small limitation. Since they come under a debit card program, this means they are backed by MasterCard, VISA, Discover, etc. This allows the cards to be used almost anywhere, and internationally as well.

Online Transactions Since anonymous prepaid cards can be used as debit cards for many things, you can use them for making simple transactions as well, but in order for that to be possible you must first follow a few rules regarding the prepaid card.

Since these cards come under a debit card program, this does not mean that you will have to recharge or reload this card in order for it to be used again.

Grocery & Retail Stores Often, you may use a gift card at a certain store or even at a grocery store. Let us assume you have a child whose birthday is coming up but you do not know what to get him/her. You can give your child the gift card. Though, it will come with a fees, it will allow your child to buy a gift of their choice from a specific store which will most likely be a toy or electronic store.

The benefit of this will be that not only will your child have the freedom of buying the product they desire, but they will also learn how to spend money properly and how to use money when they have access to a limited amount. The gift card is like a personal debit card to them, it teaches them that they have a certain limitation which they cannot cross; if they want to buy the things they need, it has to be within that certain limit.

Disadvantages There are two main disadvantages of buying anonymous prepaid cards, one is that they are expensive, and another is that they come with limits. Another reason for them being less popular is the terms and conditions which are implemented upon them. Not all items are eligible to be purchased under a gift card, and at times you may not find a registered item either.
