Would have given a lower rating if possible. Recieved card as a $200.00 company bonus. Was happy to get the little bonus until I read the details on the card. No way to get cash even after you assign a pin number. I wanted cash because what I want to use the money for is not at a retail store. So I am owed 200 but I have to go to a store and pay retail. It is my 200 let me have my money. This is a terrible experience and terrible idea. It is like someone owing you money, paying you back and deciding how to spend you money. DO NOT BUY DO NOT RECOMMEND

Chris - Congratulations on your bonus, but I'm sorry you're disappointed with the prepaid card. There are several reasons why prepaid cards aren't redeemable at ATMs, including protections against fraud and money laundering. They're also more secure than cash and easier for your company to manage and award. Many recipients use their cards to pay bills, buy gas or groceries, or offset other household expenses with the extra money. That frees up $200 from your budget that you would have spent on groceries (but paid with your card), so it is now available to spend on your non-retail purchase. Prepaid cards are designed to be extremely flexible, and can be redeemed anywhere their debit network cards are accepted — which is practically everywhere. I hope you can find a use for the card!
