visa/mc giftcards are a thing.
- nix23 5y agoReally? Never heard of that...maybe a US thing then?
- dogma1138 5y agoPrepaid cards including virtual cards are available in Europe..
- nix23 5y agoCant pay with them on OnlyFans, let alone buying used bath water.
- dogma1138 5y agoI wouldn’t know, I’m just saying the exist too in Europe. Also many of the multi-chain gift cards are also prepaid payment cards they go through the same payment system it’s much easier to leverage it than to build another one.
- da_big_ghey 5y agoIn US you can go to many store and get such a card, pay with cash. Downsides are that some merchant (mostly internet ones) will check and refuse to accept such pre-paid options.
- vxNsr 5y agoI’ve never seen that happen. Though tbh I mostly use them for MS. So I don’t have a ton of experience with actually buying stuff with them.
- stevenicr 5y agoI think they fail at places that depend on recurring subscriptions.. so places like showtime mobile, or any place that says get a trial at X dollars, then pay Y dollars per month.. the processors gets some code returned to them telling them that the card is not able to take on recurring payments - and so many places won't work with them.. but they do work for most non-recurring type things akaik. I have seen people have them fail - because they quickly try to use them, not knowing that many places require at a zip code to be entered that matches the card.. and if you have not logged into the pre-paid-card's portal and set a zip code.. well fail it will.
