Tim asked:


I have only have one revolving credit card, and I have a very high credit score. Because of this overall score they subsequently increase my credit line, even though I don’t ask for or use this revolving line of credit. Question? I have been told if you ask for a credit line decrease they lower your overall credit score? Why? What can you do to minimize a lowered credit score?

With which prepaid credit cards can you buy airfare?

bluecash99 asked:


I know you can’t buy airfare with the AMEX prepaid credit card. I was wondering with which prepaid cards can you purchase airfare?
I can’t use AMEX as any airfare purchase will automatically be declined with a prepaid one.

It’s Amex’s rule…

Daniel W asked:


I am not underage or anything, I’m just really iffy about putting my credit card information online, the site says that they won’t charge anything, but I’m not willing to take the risk. Anybody know if a prepaid card works works for sites that require a credit card to verify age?
Thanks

Question about using prepaid credit cards?

Tony asked:


I want to start using prepaid cards to make online orders. But I don’t really know how it works… do I just buy a card at the counter from Walmart? and use it like a regular credit card? Do I need a bank account? and will I get billed each time I use the prepaid card?

How to convert prepaid credit cards to cash?

bobby s asked:


I bought a couple products that had mail in rebates on them. When I mailed in the rebates, they sent me my money on a preloaded visa credit card instead of as a check. Is there a way to convert the money from this prepaid card to cash? They don’t work in ATM’s.

Some questions on prepaid credit cards?

termite asked:


Well I want to buy things online and I’m planning on using prepaid credit cards from my local Safeway.

1. I’m only 16 will I be able to buy one on my own?

2. I’m only planning to use the card for a couple purchases and thats it. Do I need to pay a monthly fee and each time I buy something will I need to pay a fee?

3. When I buy it does it automatically activate?
