The other day me and some of the guys were hanging at my place when for some reason a huge debate sparked off about what company offered the best visa debit cards. Don’t ask me why, I tried to not get too involved. It was really between Parker and Mike initially and Aaron and I were mere spectators. We just kind of sat back and let them thrash it out.
Once Mike gets started he really goes for it, I have known him since first grade and he was always the fieriest child in the classroom and on the playground. Before the debate started I can safely say I knew absolutely nothing about prepaid cards now I am probably somewhat of an expert.
Some of the main companies I kept hearing were, Account Now, Netspend, GreenDot and RushCard. Mike was rooting on the side of Netspend and Account Now and Parker was fighting the corner of GreenDot and RushCard, and he was adamant that these companies had the best prepaid card options.
Parker kept talking about how RushCard offered great travel benefits and how their cards was accepted nearly everywhere in the world and that’s why it was the best prepaid card you could get, Mike was hooked on Account Now and the versatility of their cards for people of all ages. To be honest it did sound at times as though they were talking about the same thing, and it appeared that all companies pretty much offered the same great services. I decided to just keep out of it though as I didn’t want to get in the middle of this one, plus I still had a bit of a hangover from the night before.
Me and Aaron could see this conversation wasn’t going to be ending anytime soon so we slipped out for a Espresso and a bagel at the local coffee house down the street, and to our surprise they were still at it when we got back 45 minutes later and they hadn’t even noticed that we had gone.
Let’s just say after nearly two hours of flat out debating which company was the one to go with and was the champion of the best prepaid card is still undecided. All I know is that I am going to sign myself up for one of these prepaid cards, from all of what I had heard they sounded great and I wasn’t sure why I didn’t already have one.
