I Love My Green Dot Mastercard! By rainyangl on May 03, 2008 - Updated Oct 15, 2011

I really love this card. I've had it for about 3 years or whenever it first started. It was recommended by a friend of mine that worked at Radio Shack at the time. I like it because I always know my balance, it's pre-paid so I can pay my bills or make purchases over the phone or internet without anyone knowing my personal bank account information. At first I signed up for the $500 limit card. Since then I've signed up for the premier member services. I get free customer service help whenever I need it, I have a much higher limit and if I reload my card a certain amount every month the premier member fee is waived. The only drawback is the $4.95 fee to reload your card. When you are reloading a large amount it isn't that big of a deal but when you only want to put a small amount on your card is seems kind of silly. It also works as a debit card. I can use ATM's and check my balance from my cell phone. I also like that it has nothing to do with your credit. No muss no fuss!
