I read an article recently about green dot cards being used for scams and after reading it i thought maybe it could be used for spending thresholds after all other online options (Amazon, Mint, etc.) are shut down
Below are a list of fees and how to avoid them also if you order the card online and fill it at a retailer you get the initial $4.95 reimbursed
now, there is a max limit on the card of $2500 unless u use direct deposit and a daily withdrawal limit of $400
good luck
