I guess I don't really know if there are fees to load/reload one of those, if not it'd work great, if there are then you'd end up paying more than you want to probably.
From personal experience, some of these prepaids work, some don't. Reloadables might, like Green Dot (havent tried those yet). But here in CA at my nearest Rite Aids they sell those Amex gift cards and those Vanilla prepaid Visa/MC's. The Amexes have issues galore, they don't always activate at the cash register. If they don't you have to jump through a million hoops to get it up and running, they send you a replacement in the mail but it might take a month. Horrible.
The Vanilla cards activate fine. But here's the thing with those. The name on those cards usually say "A GIFT FOR YOU" or something on the front of the card. SOE wont let the charge through unless the card is matched exactly with your name and address. So I called the debit card company to register it under my name so I could make online purchases. But they only will allow you to register your zip code, nothing else. So those Vanilla cards wont work with SOE.
The Amex cards will allow you to register your name and addy. But again, those are sketchy to get activated in the first place.
The good news is that there are a ton of SOE cards at my local Fry's, so I'm doing that for the time being.
