hello i dont know how old this thing is but here i go lol any way my husband and i have the walmart card and we have no problems…. That $3 monthly fee can easily be void if you put atleast $1000.00 or more on the card each month which we use the direct deposit and our paychecks easily make up that in one month lol so we dont get that $3 charge also we never really even pull any money off the card execpt for rent and then which we do pay the 3$ thing to pull money out from a walmart cashier which i do hate but whatever….. Also when my family needs to send money or they want to instead of waiting in line at the money gram place or western union they just use the green dot card call and tell us the number on it and BAM!! we have our money!! no need for us to get in our car and drive to go pick up our money any more it cost the same thing even less maybe depends where you live to send us money family and friends that do send money especially around the holidays love using the green dot card a whole lot better because they can just do it while standing in line anyway doing grocery shopping lol i mean i love the card we dont carry much cash on us anyways to dangerous…. and thats my opinion on it =)

be careful they don’t protect there card. if someone gets ahold of your number and use your card.. your in for one big head ache. they will still pay the company in 7 to 10 days, and after the company has been paid they will file action on a frad item or items being made on your card. the business comes before you. be careful..it takes a good month to process a unauthorizes use of your card.

I was wondering what card would be best to get for my brother, who is an adult. I am wanting a card that I can easily add money to, online preferably, when there is a need and he can use it for shopping, paying bills or getting cash. I an confused between the Walmart card and one of the UPside cards.
Thanks!

Just get a checking account called Ebanking with bank of America.the minimum time u can go inside the buildings and talk to a teller is four a month.it has free use of ATMs and the card as long as u follow that.the startup fee is 0$ all u have to do is walk up to An ATM with your card and deposit money instead. Of having a teller do it

It is amazing that you would recommend the Wal-Mart money card when the complaint and scam alert forums are FULL of people who have had extremely bad experiences with Wal-Marts debit products.

I bought the Walmart money card and loaded it with 300.00. That very day there was a fraudulent charge of 102.95 charged against it leaving me broke. Way to go!!!!

use the above link. no monthly fees as long as you direct deposit, no per transaction fees, 5 dollars a month if you don’t do direct deposit. they also have an option for opening a savings account. not too sure about that though …..

Great Card, takes direct deposit, has bill pay. great website access to account, and can talk to a live person anytime. Really, NO hidden charges, if you have no money, it will not go over. ALL cards should be like this, I’ll never have another bank account, this is all you need.

WalMart money card is the WORST card I have ever seen…EVER. I bought $500 worth of cards for Christmas presents and they all have issues. DONT EVER BUY ONE! Go to Target and pay 95cents more for no hassle!

What’s wrong with Netspend? I’ve been using this card for 5 months and I pay $9 a month flat fee, and only $3 per load. It’s a great card, the web site is quite nice and full of information, the transactions show up instantly, I get email alerts, I can text for my balance, I can have people/clients transfer money right into my balance for $5.95…on and on. It’s a REALLY good card.

I have had an Upside prepaid Visa card since November 2009. Deposits have been made too my account and monies never appeared. The deposit was June 25, 2010. I have contacted Upside but they reply. I am being sued. This card is a big rip-off.

Wal Mart money card sucks. At first it worked fine like any other debit card. I could make purchases as credit or debit. I could also get money out of the atm. Now sometimes the card works and sometimes it doesn’t. I could go to the market and make a successful debit purchase then go to the McDonalds and try a credit purchase and it would decline. When there is hundreds of dollars in the account. Most of the time I cant take any money out of the atm machine. When I call into customer service they dont have any remedies for my problems. they are in india somewhere. You cant send a email or speak to anyone that can tell you why it happening and how to get it fix. Do Not i say Do Not buy these cards it will leave your kids stranded in a strange town without the ability to get food, gas or shelter

Sorry, but GEMB has a history of penalizing customers. If put money on their pre-paid cards and have trouble accessing funds, know that their “resolution center” is located in India. Trying to resolve disputes with them is virtually impossible. Anyone who trusts a GEMB-funded account is looking for trouble.
