Absolutely HORRIBLE. DO NOT USE THIS CARD BRAND! They do not advertise that you need a form of identification when buying a pre-paid card, and they especially don't tell you its for in-store only payments when you go to use it. The customer service is incrediy unhelpful, and the process of closing an account is even harder. Unless you ID verify, you can't even withdraw the money at an ATM. Incredibly predatory, DO NOT USE.
