Wired Plastic - Prepaid Card Review

By Dan Moskel

Wired Plastic Card is a prepaid Visa debit card. You must deposit money on your card and then you can use your card to make purchases or access cash through the ATM.

Your card is accepted online and over the phone. In addition it is accepted everywhere you see the visa logo displayed.

You can sign up for free account alerts via text messaging and e-mail. This card can be used to book hotel reservations or rent a car.

A very unique benefit of this card is they have a rewards program. You will earn 1 point for every dollar spent using your card.

These points can be redeemed at participating retailers which includes; Verizon Wireless, Cingular, T-Mobile and more. You can use your points to pay your phone bill; purchase music downloads or ring tones.

This card is issued through Bankfirst and gives you free direct deposit. There is a $3.95 monthly fee but that is much lower to the standard monthly fee ranging from $9.95 to $19.95 a month for other cards.

Your card can also be used to write physical checks. These checks can be written to pay your bills such as; cable, utilities, and rent. This will eliminate paying for costly money orders. Your card can be loaded with money through a bank transfer, pay pal, and at over 100,000 retail locations.

You are guaranteed to be approved for this card. There is no chexsystems verification or credit check. It will come with a 30 day money back guarantee which can be used for any reason.

This card is very similar to a check card and checking account. If you are in chexsystems then it can save you money on check cashing fees and buying expensive money orders.

To qualify for this card you must be 18 years or older. You must be able to comply with the patriot act to verify your identity and have a US resident address. They will not issue you a card if you only have a P.O. Box.

In sum we do suggest the Wired Plastic prepaid visa. It is a great alternative to carrying cash.
