Prepaid Credit Cards for Travel

Prepaid credit cards are incredibly useful for bookings when you’re traveling. They’re easy to use and reloadable, meaning you can take them everywhere you go without having to worry about finding a bank in which you can add money to them. They also don’t require you to have a bank account or credit check, so they’re accessible to everyone.

With direct deposit and online bill paying features, prepaid credit cards make managing your money and making your bookings for hotels or car rentals on the move hassle free.

Visa offers a great selection of 32 different prepaid credit cards. The AccountNow Gold Visa Prepaid Card can be purchased online or in store and also offers multiple money management tools to help you track where you’re spending your money. It has no credit or ChexSystems check, making the purchase pretty hassle free. Best of all, it has no overdraft fees, so you won’t find yourself cast adrift if you need some extra cash.

For the more tech-savvy, there’s the BlazePays, issued by First National Bank. This card offers free direct deposits and supports check loads to cards with smartphones. It comes with a mobile app, online account management and text alerts, so you’ll be kept up to date all the time.
