How much is a prepaid credit card at kmart?

Anonymous prepaid credit gift card?

• My credit score is in the 700's...good. I use it a lot, but pay it off each month. I'd like to boost the score by shifting some of my purchases to visa/mastercard gift cards. It seems like if I'm paying cash for the card, they shouldn't need my name etc. No name equals no reflection in my credit history. So how do these cards work from start (buying/loading it at a store) to using it at the store to buy something. I won't buy them online, only at a store like kmart or something. Thanks very much

• Answer:

  if you have a gift card they dont improve your credit report because they are not reported to the credit reporting agencies and you will need your name and address when you register the card online with the gift card issuer -read the following article it explains how to use gift card Using Visa or American Express Gift Cards to Shop Online One of the most asked gift card questions, particularly on Yahoo Answers is whether you can use a Visa or any other bank issued gift card (American Express, Discover, or MasterCard) to shop online. The answer is yes. However, there are additional steps you have to take to prevent your card from being rejected by the merchant. The problem with using Visa (or any other bank issued) gift card online is that there is no verifiable name and address associated with the card. When buying things online, most merchants want your name and billing address to match the name and address you have on file with your card (credit, debit, or bank gift card) issuer. question.jpg Therefore, before you use your Visa or other bank issued gift card, call the merchant/financial institution that issued the card or go to their website and add your name and address to the card. This will ensure that when you use the card online, the name and address you provide to the merchant for billing will match the name and address on file for the card. Once you have registered your card, you can use it online just like you would use a regular credit card. If your information (name and address) has changed since you registered your Visa gift card, call the card issuer or go online and update your information before you use the card online.
