Prepaid Credit Cards 101
Most of us find that a credit card is important in our daily life. Whether it be for emergencies or other spending it is really hard to live without a credit card. Many companies like satellite TV require you to have a major credit card in order to be approved for service.
Not to mention hotels, airlines, car rentals and many other related services also require a major credit card. So, having a credit card is very important. Now, many of us can’t receive traditional credit cards because are credit rating is so low or because we don’t have any credit at all. If this is the case with you then you aren’t hopeless and do have an option. The option is with prepaid credit cards.
Prepaid credit cards look and act just like a traditional credit card. They are little plastic cards with your name on them that can’t be distinguished as a prepaid card. That means you can use them as you like to make reservations, buy clothes, shop, and do anything else you might do with a traditional credit card. Just keep in mind that your prepaid plastic card can only be used to pay for things that cost within the price range of the amount of money you have loaded on the card.
For example, if you have $500 on your prepaid credit card then you can only spend up to $500. There is no interest associated with prepaid credit cards, no over the limit fees, no late fees, and nothing that will negatively impact your credit rating or your credit. The only thing that you will have to pay are the fees associated with the prepaid credit card. This means the loading fee will be charge when you deposit money to your card, also fees are charged when the card is used at an ATM, and sometimes a fee is charged if the money is not spent within a certain period of time.
There are some drawbacks to prepaid credit cards. One of them is that you must have the money up front in order to load the credit card. You don’t really have any ‘credit’ to speak of with these types of cards but rather deposit your money in order to have a credit card. It works very similar to a debit card and once the money is spent it is gone until you deposit more. These are just some of the basics associated with prepaid credit cards.
