greendot is HORRIBLE!! Tell her to buy the Visa gift cards. You can get them in denominations like 25, 50 etc OR you can buy the loadable ones and put whatever amount you want. You DONT register these cards so theres NO name attached.

I was looking for something like this.  Where do can you purchase these Visa gift cards?  I know you can purchase at your person bank, but I was wondering if you can purchase them from some other place?

You can get them at Wal-Mart (look for the carousel with ALL the gift cards), you can get them at most any grocery store, too. Just look for any store that sells gift cards (like Amazon,etc) They should have them there.

I'm curious about these, but have never used them.  Are there any difficulties using them for on line purchases?  Such as when asked for "Name As It Appears On Card", or for the 3-digit code on the back?  Has anybody tried that?  Thanks!

No difficulties. If it asks for name, I type in mine. It DOES have the 3 digit security code on the back of the card, so no issues there. I NEVER use my debit card for purchases online anymore. My number was stolen THREE times in 4 months and the Bank says it all came from someone (plural) online. I have a great bank and they caught it everytime before any damage was done, but Im sick of having to get a new card all the time!

Thanks to both Katy Marie and Kelly for the good info!  Much appreciated.

What I was really trying to find out ... On these boards, none of us use our real names for discretionary reasons.  None of us (well, most) are looking to hurt anybody else, or scam anybody else; we just want to be discreet, and not have a real name attached.

What I was wondering, if these cards can be purchased with cash, and registered without any name (or if somebody could use a false name like "John Doe"); or if there is a verification involved.  Again, not to do anything shady but just to be discreet.

I've just always wondered about this.
