Credit card for kids?
How can a kid under 18 buy things online? Like i heard about a prepaid credit card. Is it like a card that you put money on, and you can use it to buy stuff online with? help please :]

Yes, go to your local bank and get a prepaid Visa card, $5 fee (average) and you're good to go spend online.

prepaid credit cards are more like giftcard to anystore you want. but it cost money to activate it. (on some) but if it's for anystore then i guess you can do it online.

Yes, they have pre paid credit cards.


ducky97
They can always use a credit card that takes the money out of the main account.


funkyalmond2003
Yes prepaid credit cards do not have an age limit. Just a money limit. Anyone can use them. They are like gift certificates that you can use anywhere. Even online.

Check out this site:

You can also check with your bank to see if they can issue a prepaid card in your name. However, since you're under 18, your parents would need to get the card for you.

It is basically a Visa gift card. you can get them at your bank, but they will most likely charge you a few bucks for them.

i wouldnt it depends on how old they are. theyll just buy and buy be strict with them and have rules about it. Trust me i had to take my daughter's away after first month.


misskolson
NO

have your parents buy you a gift card to a certain place online and have them help you with the transaction - don't use credit cards online unless you know who else can get that info...bad people out there, and they are preying on people under 18 now, so guard your credit! and go to the mall!

People can buy those visa gift cards from the malls, cuz they have a certain limit, its a lot safer than carrying cash...for your kids

If you are buying a lot of items on line try a pre paid card. There will be some fees but It can also help you manage your money and be more responsible

You can go to a lot of different retail stores and get a credit card (prepaid) but there are activation fees. There are like american express and master card in different dollar amounts. Try eckerd, cvs, walgreens...depends where u live

Credit cards for children!! Pish-posh, no need for such things. If you really wanna have fun, just dissect bugs in your back yard.

One would assume they use their parent's/guardian's cards either with or without permission.


warzone-traveler
The best advice you will ever receive DO NOT GET A CREDIT CARD. Until you fully understand credit and that its the most important thing you can have in America. You can't have **** without good credit. Not even good, not even Great Credit, you need Perfect Credit. If you dont have the money now to buy it, you can afford it. Good luck!!!!

You ask your parents. You don't want to be getting into credit cards at such a young age --there's plenty of time for that later
Enjoy your youth --DEBT FREE!!!!!!


Lady In Black
yea its actually a prepaid card and you put money on it like lets say for example 20 bucks and then you can use it online or to pay at any store where they accept debit cards and you can only spend the 20 bucks that you put on it. some of the prepaid cards can even be used at some atm machines, they have some at wal-mart i think.

i think one of them is called visa prepaid card!


skie
it would be much easier to get a second card on your acount for the kid. have only one bill.

they don't, they have to have their parents do it

You can get a debit/visa or mastercard from your bank.You put money in your checking account and use your debit to buy things online. It,s cheaper than a prepaid visa/mastercard, because you have to pay to load money on the card.


Ruthless G
i know that sucks, but i guess u gotta ask ur parents for it

but for online things i think u can send it by money order or checks


*A.N.W.S*

It is called paypal

your parents must have a card set up first before you can use it.

your parents must know about you buying stuff onlne.

they can help you to buy stuff.

Hope I Helped.

NO WAY. I BELIEVE THAT WHEN YOU CAN HANDLE A CREDIT CARD AND GET IT WITH OUT THE HELP OF MOMMY AND DADDY, THEN YOU GET ONE. THE SAME GOES FOR CARS,WHEN THEY CAN GET ON THEIR OWN THEN THE APPRECIATE MORE. CALL ME OLD FASHION ,BUT I AM THE BABY OF NINE AND IT IS SOMETHING TO TAKE GREAT PRIDE IN
