Yes.
I see what the 1st answerer shared, but for those companies that offer free samples, and will charge the next month if you don’t cancel, prepaid c.c. are what I would recommend for them. I’ve heard some horror stories of them not canceling when you call to cancel. Well a pre-paid card can prevent that – cancel the card.
No. for the ones that have installment payments.

Yes You can use prepaid credit cards for online orders but I wouldn’t sujest it. Why? because when you order things online they usually ask for your cards mailing address,verification number on the back etc. and a lot of times there’s issues because since its not like a reg card you don’t have all the info and the company’s still need to compute all that information to process orders soo In my personal opinion I wouldn’t ..
What if you need to return the item for any reason?
see.. Think about it ..
Yep, as long as you have enough money you should be fine
Of course, if they have a credit logo they work as a credit card. You can purchase in any store that accept the brand of your credit card.
Using a prepaid credit cards has it’s pros and cons. The pros is that you don’t have the responsibility buying something for a dollar and then paying $1.50 for it (interest). Plus, it gives you the ability to start and practice good money skills by buying only what you need. However, many of us, sometimes to often than it should, have had to dealt with internet schemes or bad internet business, i.e.some business on ebay (not all). With most credit card companies, you can report it to them and have them look into it. With a prepaid card, you more than likely have practically lost your money for the cost of the item. I use prepaid cards for my children just so that they can get a hang of money management.
