Brilliant.
(And so far I've found only ONE store that will accept these stupid prepaid credit cards ... despite some of the stores SELLING THEM. WTF?!)

One thing a lot of cashiers don't realize is that when using those cards, if the purchase amount is over the value of the card, they have to put in the dollar amount, or the card will be declined. Also, I would recommend using it at a place that you won't return items-like the grocery store or for gas. I paid part of a tuition bill online with one I received. The reason is that if you do a return, a lot of registers will automatically recredit the card and if you don't have it anymore, your pretty much SOL.
