Yes, pre-paid cards typically require you to pay upfront when you purchase them. You load the card with a specific amount of money, which you can then use for transactions until the balance runs out. Unlike credit cards, you cannot spend more than the loaded amount, as there is no credit extended.
no, it does not.Depends - there are pay as you go visa or the so called prepaid debit cards, which have features that allow you to build credit over period. For example - with AccountNow Prepaid Visa or master card: http://www.accountnow.comyou could be eligible to build credit history if you sign up for Direct deposit and bill pay with your debit card, as all your bill payments get reported to the major credit bureaus.
There is no interest on a prepaid credit card. With a prepaid card it is like having cash. You have an amount on your card (for example $500) and you purchase an item for $30 you would then still have a credit of $470 on your card. This can be topped up when the funds run low.
If you are simply referring to a prepaid card like the Mango Money card and American Express Pass the answer is MAYBE. Prepaid cards have different fee structures that are determined by the company that issues it- just because two prepaid cards from different companies both have a VISA or MasterCard logo on them doesn't mean that they both have the same cost. Feel free to look up any prepaid card offers you see online or in the mail, or find a "rate detective" to help you gather any information you need... Meanwhile, you may also be referring to a secured credit card. These are credit cards which require you to provide a security deposit just in case you fail to pay. These also have different fee structures- one secured card may have a low monthly fee or none at all but carries a noticeably higher interest rate, while another may have a very low APR but carries a fee billed month to month.
There are two great advantages to prepaid credit cards. One is that they never put you into debt as your can only use them as long are there are funds to back them up. The other is that as long as there are funds to support their use, they can be used to secure purchases that require a credit for security such as hotel rooms and car rentals.

Although the cards can be used in the same way, there are some significant differences in prepaid and regular credit cards. With a regular credit card, you make your purchases on credit and then pay your bill later. If you do not pay the bill in full each month, or are late making a payment, there will be fees accrued in the form of interest and late fees. With a prepaid credit card, you deposit money much the same way you would with a checking or savings account. Then when you use your prepaid credit card, the charges are deducted from your balance. When you start to run low on your balance, you can just deposit more money in your account. In this way, prepaid credit cards operate much the same as debit cards. You will probably have to pay an initial fee to set up your prepaid credit card account, but after that you avoid the possibility of interest and late fee charges. This is also a good way to rebuild your credit if you have had financial difficulties in the past.
yea, i think so
No, it does not expire, in fact, you can reload these prepaid cards. You purchase the amount of time you want and when its up you just reload new minutes on it.

There are other ways to save money when using prepaid cell phones that can be beneficial for those whose income may vary or may want to save money. Prepaid cell phone cards are a great way to use prepaid cell phone service without having to pay every month. These cards can be purchased at any point and often do not expire. This can make it easy to stockpile prepaid cell phone cards for when they are needed.

Contract: is for, say, 18 or 24 months. You pay a basic fee each month, usually for inclusive calls/texts/internet useage. Prepaid: which is quite rare these days. You Pay up front for the length of the contract, say, the year, again for an agreed amount of calls/texts. Any calls/texts/internet over and above the agreed amount are billed each month. The other option is obviously, 'pay as you go' You normally by the phone, buy a SIM then pay a 'top-up' charge every time you need minutes/texts.

A prepaid program will have you pay a particular monthly fee that is variable based on the number of minutes you purchase. You won't have to pay monthly though, if you don't use up all the minutes. You'll have to pay again when the minutes are depleted.
Typically there are no credit checks of any sort for prepaid cellular services. The trade off is that you will pay more for your services.
I don't think that Stardoll prepaid cards will ever go to Canada, because the prepaid cards only go to England. I heard that a ship sailed over to Canada to give the cards, but then is sank due to a under sea volcano which exploded when the ship crossed it. Everyone was killed, which is why most people didn't hear about it, but a sailor in the distance saw it and told a few people. It then got passed around a bit and I think someone messed up the story, I'm not sure. But that's what I heard and I reckon they should go to Canada soon, maybe by PLANE next time? Edit : : Stardoll Prepaid Cards are in Canada :D
