It's a solution to that problem, but not the best solution (ignoring separate benefits mentioned by other commenters) - the simplest way to avoid kids spending too much is simply to let parents/owners pre-authorise by making a payment and leaving that balance on the account ready to spend, but still in normal currency.
- fastball 14y agoThat's pretty much the same thing, as it's merely a method of pre-paying for a finite amount of merchandise. The actual best solution would be to allow spending controls, so that, even with a linked credit card, the account can only buy $100 worth of product per month or something.
- alphydan 14y agoThe actual best solution might be to talk to your kids and educate them so they voluntarily don't spend too much ... how innovative and rad is that?
