What to do with prepaid credit card?


Recommended Posts

I got a rebate from some computer parts I bought and they sent me a $10 prepaid Citi Mastercard. I tried to add it to the PlayStation Store so I could buy some add-on or game and it wouldn't work (although Sony still charged $1 every time I tried to add the card). I then went to Amazon.com to try and buy a PlayStation Network game or add-on and they are asking for a billing address, but I don't live in the US. So I need some ideas as to what to do with this card. I should be getting another $20 card within the next month so I'll be stuck with two prepaid cards that I seemingly can't use.

Yeah you can add a prepaid card to paypal and use it that way. Barely worth it for a total of $30 though.

Otherwise you could maybe buy some other kind of gift card that you could sell for face value (iTunes comes to mind but the cheapest is $15).

Hmm, I tried to buy a $10 amazon.ca gift certificate and it said "We're sorry, we encountered an internal server error and will investigate". Pending charge on my card now for $10 :unsure:

EDIT: Ok, so it shows an order invoice so I'll see what happens in the next couple of days.

Any purchase I make online is done using a prepaid Master Card, that only contains the exact amount of money that I plan on spending for that purchase.This prevents people from stealing my money being that the most they could get was the exact amount I intended on the purchase and if they attempted to use the number elsewhere it would simply come up with insufficient funds.
