TER General Board

Need a cash option
JfunBox 20 Reviews 397 reads

I have raised this with TER but it seems they do not plan to do anything about reinstating a Cash or anonymous option.  Fully understand the new laws, but other sites seem to have figured out this problem (I.e. P411).  It's frustrating because I am ready to send them money -- they just don't want it!!

You got to register the card with whoever issued the card if you want to use it as a credit card.  You may have to give your mailing address to do so.

Section 326 of the USA PATRIOT ACT requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person who opens an account or changes an existing account. This federal requirement applies to all new customers and current customers. This information is used to assist the United States government in the fight against the funding of terrorism and money-laundering activities.

I have just moved on to use other sites that accept cash or money orders.  Too bad.  TER is probably one of the better sites,but it's just not worth it to jeopardize privacy.  Strange, P411 has a great system - and they are not US based.   I rarely log in anymore.

Go try that..especially when you need a ss number and then all the name/address info doesn't match up. Results in closed account and blacklisted with the issuing card company.

Some prepay cards (most?) have a restriction on being used to pay to US accounts or businesses only.  In fact, some regular CCs have the same problem and they will block the transaction but contact you to find out if you want it to go through (or if your card was hijacked by someone and is being used to send drug money or terrorist money overseas).  

If you register the prepay CC with a fake name, etc., and they block the overseas transaction, there is no way to authenticate "yourself" and confirm that you want it to go through
