I got a Visa pre paid card from Netspend (online) about 6 months ago. Was supposed to get free $5. Never got it.Then last month, I was at my local check-cashing business and noticed a Netspend ad. Asked about my card and am now able to load any amount on it for $3 fee.Only drawback, for each use, Netpend deducts an additional fee of $1 from your balance. Don't know if other "green dots" charge any fee or not.
