I've been meaning to post this for a while, but pandemic.

A little over 2 months I ago I purchased a "Green Dot" brand Visa gift card to make an anonymous purchase.

No exaggeration, there are zero options for taking to a human being should a problem arise.

It is all revolving recordings.

It isn't anonymous either. To spend the money on the card you have to register it which requires a social security number, a cellphone number, and an address. The registration site has data validation so you can't put garbage values easily in.

If you have cash on the card more than a month they start charging you a fee.

There is no means of cancelling the card.

There is no means of asking for your money back.

I eventually got my cash "back" by using the card to buy an Amazon gift card.
