Can you use a prepaid credit card?
There is no such thing as a prepaid "credit card". It is actually a prepaid debit card, even though it may carry a Visa, Mastercard or American Express logo. These should be usable anywhere the logo on the card is accepted. There are also prepaid gift cards, which look like a credit card but don't have your name on it. This should work as well.
Can you put a nickname on a prepaid card?
No. You have too put your real name.
Where do you refill prepaid cards?
If the prepaid card you have does not bear your name and you haven't registered the card online, then your only option for reloading the card is through one of the "cash reload networks"; the main ones are Moneygram, GreenDot, Western Union and PowerPay. Your card, or the package in which the card came, will tell you which of those cash networks is available and what retail locations to go to. You would typically have to go to a pharmacy or grocery store or convenience store of the available network to refill the card with cash.If the prepaid card has your name embossed on it, then you can also refill it via direct deposit, by asking your employer to deposit part or all of your salary in the card: the card comes with a Direct Deposit Account number that you give your employer, much like a checking account number.Some prepaid cards also have more refill options than just cash or direct deposit: check the website of the prepaid card provider to see what's available. Some prepaid cards can be refilled from a credit or debit card. Some prepaid cards can accept bank transfers via eBillme.
I have state liens on bank accounts but have a chance to have checks direct deposit onto prepaid debit card can they get this information?
Unfortunately for you, they can. Prepaid cards need to be linked to a financial institution in order to store money in your virtual account. Even if your name isn't on the card they still need info for national security purposes, and thus need to report major transactions. If you were to get an income check on your prepaid card your name would be listed as the recipient, and thus would make a ping on the radar which can be tracked back to you...
What does it mean if a credit card says prefered customer in place of a name?
It means it is not a real credit card. It is a temporary pre paid card bought from a retail store. It says preferred customer because it is not the permeant card, after you register with the company of the prepaid card they will send you a personalized card with you name on it, it will be a Visa or MasterCard Prepaid card. It is similar to a debit card but you pay in advance it is not a credit card. Save
