You can buy a prepaid card in most local grocery stores in Canada, no personal info required - though you can't buy a prepaid card with a prepaid card.

- beagle3 12y agoInteresting ... what's the logic in that? Can you use it to get money (ATM or cashback)? I assume so, in which case this restriction makes it extra stupid.
- click170 12y agoI always assumed money-laundering was what they were trying to protect against. At first I figured if it was possible to buy a gift card with a gift card they wouldn't be able to track that very easily / as easily. But then, what about cash. So it does seem like kind of a moot point to me, maybe someone in Finance can explain the reasoning better?
- click170 12y agoTo clarify, no you can't use it at the ATM or to get cash back.
