Wired Plastic™ Prepaid Visa® Card

  
The Wired Plastic™ Prepaid Visa® Card, issued by The Bancorp Bank, is a stored value card designed for those who may have difficulty in obtaining an unsecured credit card. Although the card does not require a security deposit, it does require payments in advance, which are then used to offset future purchases made with the card. There is no interest applied on the account, no annual fee, and none of the other charges similarly found with most unsecured credit cards. There are also fewer credentials required in comparison to common unsecured credit cards, such as a no credit check policy, no employment verification, and so forth. Nevertheless, it is important to note that there are some fees associated with this card, such as a one-time application fee of $9.95, a monthly maintenance fee of $3.95 ($47.40 annually), and a minimum initial load amount of $10. So in the first year alone, a cardholder can expect to pay a total of $57.35 in fees. This is very reasonable for this type of card. It is common for stored value cards to lack benefits; however, this card does offer automatic bill payment, direct deposit, and access to a unique reward program. Through the Wired Points Rewards program, one point is earned for each dollar spent on purchases made with the card. Points do not expire and there is no limit to the number of points that may be earned per year. Points can be redeemed for long distance calling cards, music downloads, a variety of ring tones, and prepaid wireless airtime at participating partners. 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.

BuyRIGHT Pre-Paid MasterCard®

  
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.
