Prepaid Credit Card Applications

The New Millennium Bank Secured Black Diamond Visa®/MasterCard®, issued by New Millennium Bank, is designed for those with limited or poor credit who may have difficulty in obtaining a standard unsecured credit card. Most often, secured credit cards do not have any additional perks or benefits; however, this card does provide several benefits including auto rental insurance, up to $100,000 in travel accident insurance, and an extended warranty for purchases. Perhaps the best benefit is the free companion airline ticket, which is awarded to cardholders upon approval. The card also offers a referral program that rewards cardholders with up to $50 per approved referral. Although the APR applied to purchases is high for a secured card, this card does apply interest to the deposit amount required to secure the account, which is a nice benefit. This card also has a no credit check and no turn-down policy. There is an annual fee of $59, which is slightly above average for a secured card, as well as a one-time processing fee of $99.95 ($129.95 if the applicant would like to be issued both a Visa® and a MasterCard®). It is important to note that a drawback of the card is that there is no grace period for purchases. This means that interest will be applied immediately to any charges made with the card. Therefore, those who do not mind accumulating finance charges once a transaction is posted and can afford the $300 minimum deposit will benefit most from what the New Millennium Bank Secured Black Diamond Visa®/MasterCard® has to offer.

The Millennium Advantage Pre-Paid MasterCard®, issued by New Millennium Bank, is a stored value card designed for those who may have difficulty in obtaining an unsecured credit card. This card requires the cardholder to make payments in advance, which are then used to offset future purchases made with the card. The card can be loaded by account-to-account transfers via the Internet, through payments sent by mail, or at load stations from authorized load partners. There is a $1 fee charged for every reload. There are other fees associated with this card as well, including an activation fee of $99.00 and a monthly participation fee of $5.95 ($71.40 annually). In the first year alone, a cardholder can expect to pay a minimum total of $170.40 in fees. It is important to note this card does not report cardholder transactions to credit bureaus, which may be considered a major drawback for those who are trying to establish credit. Therefore, those who are looking for a stored value card and do not need to build credit may find the Millennium Advantage Pre-Paid MasterCard® to be a suitable option.

The BuyRIGHT Pre-Paid MasterCard®, issued by MetaBank, is a stored value card designed for those who would like to take advantage of the rewards program and the shopping membership that this card has to offer. This stored value card does require payment of an initial load of $20. Funds may be loaded onto the card in numerous ways and although fees do apply to most funding methods, there is no charge to fund the card via direct deposit. Funds loaded to the account are available for future purchases made with the card. The card has a $29.95 account set-up fee, and cardholders have the option of choosing between paying a monthly fee of $4.95 or paying no monthly fee with a per transaction fee of $1. If the cardholder plans to make at least five card transactions per month, it would be beneficial to pay the monthly fee, since any more than five transactions would result in fees that would exceed the set monthly fee. Cardholders will have the option to sign up for the Credit Building Program. The program allows customers to make purchases online at SmartCreditShopping.com through a pre-approved $7,500 line of credit. The $7,500 credit line available for this membership is separate from that of the BuyRIGHT Pre-Paid MasterCard®. It is important to note that at least a $10 deposit is required for merchandise purchases. The cardholder's new account as well as their monthly payment history will then be reported to at least one major credit bureau. Through the BuyRIGHT Rewards Program, cardholders earn one point per dollar spent on general purchases. No yearly limit or expiration applies to these points. Cardholders can redeem points for ring tones, music downloads, prepaid wireless airtime, and long-distance calling cards. Cardholders will also have access to the BuyRIGHT Cash Back referral program, which will reward them with $5 if they sign up for direct deposit within 30 days and $25 for every cardholder that they refer. Therefore, those who are looking for

The READYdebit® Card can be used to book hotel or car reservations or to make purchases online - something that just can't be done without a credit card. Plus, your funds on the READYdebit® Card are protected by Visa®'s Zero Liability™ policy, which protects cardholders from unauthorized transactions.

The Eufora Prepaid MasterCard® with Credit Builder - Elite Level, issued by The Bancorp Bank, is a stored value card designed for those who have fair, poor, bad, or no credit history and would like to rebuild their credit, as well as have the chance to earn income for referrals. Not often do prepaid cards offer benefits; however, the Eufora Prepaid MasterCard® with Credit Builder - Elite Level offers a unique income opportunity for cardholders. Each time a cardholder refers a new applicant to the Eufora Prepaid MasterCard® with Credit Builder - Elite Level, that cardholder will earn $90 per year if the referred applicant is approved and maintains their membership in good standing.

Lastly, each time a cardholder refers a new applicant to the Eufora™ Associate MasterCard®, that cardholder will receive $20 per year if the referred applicant is approved and maintains their membership in good standing. At the Elite level, the cardholder earns "commissions" for referrals at every card level. The two lower earning levels (Associate and Preferred) have lower annual fees, but the referral fees are considerably less. For instance, if an Associate level cardholder refers an Elite level cardholder, that cardholder will receive $20 as opposed to $50. The annual fee for the card is $99.95 per year, and is currently being waived for the first two years. In addition to the unique income program, the card offers the following benefits: purchase protection, auto rental insurance, and up to $200,000 in travel accident insurance. In order to use the card, cardholders need to first make a deposit in advance for a set amount (ranging between $5 to $5000 per deposit), which determines the amount that can be spent on the card.

Therefore, those who are looking for a stored value card to pay in advance for purchases, do not mind paying upfront fees, and will take advantage of the reward program may find the Wired Plastic™ Prepaid Visa® Card to be a beneficial option.
