Pre-paid credit card? (Green Dot Visa)?

Question

I purchased a green dot prepay cc, it has like a sixteen digit number on it, thats one more than the average credit card. Can i use this to purchase stuff online?

Answer 1

Yes, you can. I happen to have a Green Dot myself, and have used it on online purchases before. I find Green Dots to be useful, except for the monthly $4.95 service charge!

Answer 2

All Visa credit & debit cards have a 16-digit number. Some on-line merchants accept debit cards, some do not. Unless it's tied to a billing address (many pre-paid cards are not) you can't use it on-line.
