While they offer many of the features of a traditional credit card, they are a convenient way to manage your money and avoid interest charges. With this in mind, we try to share essential information on various personal financing products to help you make the most informed decision when making your next purchase.  <\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s take a look at the <strong>Vanilla Visa and Mastercard prepaid cards<\/strong>. You may find that this card is exactly what you need, or you may want to consider other options. <\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s take a closer look at the pros and cons of this card, and present some excellent prepaid alternatives that we personally recommend.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=&#8221;35440&#8243; img_size=&#8221;large&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; style=&#8221;vc_box_rounded&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;What Are the Vanilla Visa and Mastercard Prepaid Cards?&#8221; font_container=&#8221;tag:h3|text_align:left&#8221; el_id=&#8221;what_are_the_vanilla_visa_and_mastercard_prepaid_cards_&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221; el_class=&#8221;checkmarks&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>The Vanilla prepaid card is available in Visa and Mastercard versions. The only notable difference between the two is that the cards have different denominations. <\/p>\n<p>For example, the <strong>Vanilla Visa prepaid card<\/strong> starts at $50, with other denominations at $75, $100, $150 and $250. The <strong>Vanilla Mastercard prepaid card<\/strong> option starts at $25, with denominations between $25 and $500. <\/p>\n<p>Apart from that, they both serve the same purpose and are reliable sources to choose from. So you can choose the one you feel most comfortable with. <\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221; el_class=&#8221;checkmarks&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>Cards may not be accepted in the same stores.

If your card expires, you&#8217;ll have the option of requesting a replacement card and keeping your balance. <\/li>\n<li><strong>Online availability<\/strong>: You can use the Vanilla prepaid card to make online shopping as easy as with a traditional credit card. Once you&#8217;ve entered your details, including adding a postal code as a security feature, you can access multiple items online. <\/li>\n<li><strong>No PIN code<\/strong>: the Vanilla prepaid card requires no PIN code. This makes it an excellent gift for people under 18 who want a product that works like a credit or debit card, without the hassle. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;How Does the Vanilla Prepaid Card Work?&#8221; el_id=&#8221;how_does_the_vanilla_prepaid_card_work_&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221; el_class=&#8221;checkmarks&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p><strong>Vanilla prepaid cards<\/strong> are readily available at a variety of stores, including Walmart, 7-Eleven, Couche-Tard and many other participating retailers. Unlike other prepaid cards, you don&#8217;t need to provide a personal background check or credit score to purchase one. <\/p>\n<p>This means you can also buy as many cards as you like. The card is simple and intuitive to use. Once you&#8217;ve purchased the prepaid card, signed the back of the card for verification purposes, you&#8217;re ready to use it.   It&#8217;s easy!<\/p>\n<p>When buying, check the barcode on the packaging. If it looks altered, scratched or has another sticker over it, don&#8217;t buy it and inform the merchant. Fraud is unfortunately common with this type of prepaid card.  <\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;Vanilla Prepaid Card Fees&#8221; el_id=&#8221;vanilla_prepaid_card_fees&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221; el_class=&#8221;checkmarks&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>Although the <strong>Vanilla prepaid card<\/strong> is presented as &#8220;free after purchase&#8221;, the situation is more nuanced than that.<\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;ll have to pay a purchase fee, including an initial activation fee when you buy the card.
