If you feel it absolutely necessary to "throw your card(s) away" after paying them off, I suggest to just cut the card, and toss. However, DO NOT, DO NOT close your credit card account! Why, you may ask . . . one of the things that effects your FICO score is your credit history with the credit card company. Another factor is the debt ratio. For instance, if you have a $2000 credit limit, and you have no balance on your card, that will positively affect your FICO score. But, on the same token, if you have a $2000 credit limit, with a $1500 balance on the card, that will reduce your FICO score.

How do you put money onto my wellsfargo visa debit card?

You deposit the money into your checking account. A debit card is just a tool to spend the money that is in your checking account. Many people confuse debit card with credit cards. The difference is that a credit card is a type of loan, in which the bank is loaning you money to buy things with when you swipe the card and you have to pay it back over time. When you swipe your debit card, the purchase is paid for with money in your checking account immediately. Wells Fargo also sells Visa prepaid debit cards, which is a card you can buy with a preset amount, ie $300. When you spend all $300 on the card, you can't use it anymore and have to throw it away. They are not reloadable.

How do you throw cards?

Well the way I throw cards is to put the Northeastern edge in between my middle and pointer finger. I then bring the southeastern edge into my palm by bending my hand towards me. I then quickly unbend my hand and let go of the card when my hand is straight. this works at its very best with plastic coated cards like the diva wrestling cards or some plastic coated playing cards.
