Hi guys just a suggestion to canadians moneymart carries a prepaid mastercard that can be used anywhere there is a small monthly fee they have a canadian one as well as a us one which i think i may get much cheaper than the vanilla or visa gift cards and no registering them and all that garbage anyways just thought id let you know its the one i use and the cool thing is u can also get part of your paycheque loaded to the card on your payday nice way to keep at a spending limit.

actually it will cost you more as they charge a fee per transaction and still have fee to top up as well...with a fee to get the card and monthly fee thereafter...with the vanilla mastercard just a one time activation fee...no transaction fees just used it until its done. i was using the moneymart prepaid credit card and one from cash money but all those little fees add up and i soon realize i was paying a lot more than simply buying a $100 (best value) Vanilla MC and activation fee of $5.95 plus taxes.

how long ago did u have one i pay 15.00 a month for service charges and thats everything doesn't cost anything to pull out cash at atm except the 1.50 that the atm itself charges and i deposit to inetbet clubworld and grandhotel no extra charges at grandhotel as its in canadian $ with us $ there is exchange which isn't much unless the us $ goes up and about .45 for the international fee there is also no charge to load it in person or using the direct deposit option with part of my paycheque i found the vanilla cards were really high on the exchange rates by the time i bought the card for 3.95 for the 25.00 card to deposit at a us cash casino i only had 20 i could deposit and i found that id just throw out the card instead of using the remaining 1 or 2 that was left so it was actually costing about 10 for a 20 deposit but thats what i found whatever works best for you!!!
