Some advice if you are in the US and want to get a pre-paid green dot Visa/MC card. I picked one up today and put some money on it. It turns out that the card you get in the package is a temporary card and the temporary card is not available to use outside of the US. I have to wait 7-10 business days before I get the real card which can be used to place an order in a foreign country. The card cost 4.99 plus whatever you want to put for the balance. Dont think that you will be able to hide behind the green dot card. You will have to give it all of your information in order to use it in a different country. Expect to give your name, social, address....
