    Go to CVS or some other store like it, you can buy them in 25, 50 or 100 dollar denomiations they are either Visa AMEX or a few other brands, and usually have a 3-4 dollar extra charge when you buy them at the cash register, which you can pay cash for. Once they ring it up you can use it online anywhere.

    Posted on January 28th, 2012 admin No comments


    Question by : Can someone use my credit card online if he/she only knew the 3 numbers?
    Can someone use my credit card online if he/she only knew the card number, the security code (3 digits), and the expiration date? Do he/she need any other information to use my credit card online?Do they need my name,address or any former personal information of mine? If they doesn’t know, does the transaction online will fail and no money will be deducted to my card?

    Best answer:

    Answer by Princess
    no, they would need the long 16 digit code on the front too…however, if they were logged onto your personal computer where you have saved card detailed on regularly used sites then perhaps.if it is a visa card i recommend the verified by visa application for added security :)

    Question by Levi H: Is it possible to get an online credit card?
    I was thinking about doing those sites where it says you tin get a free Ipod etc. I’m 99% sure they work, but I am not to keen on giving them my credit card number. For the offers you have to give a credit card for verification, but it’s loose. So is this possible?

    Best answer:

    Answer by fruit_snacks
    if you feel uncomfortable doing it online, go online to the company sight and they will have a 800 number that you tin and you apply over the phone.

Is it more than or different to the usual details you need to use to buy products online from legitimate sites? If it’s a certain amount of details how do people still fall for it, isn’t there a detailed list of what not to give out?Any aided appreciated.

    Answer by Toni
    They cannot accesss your checking account or bank details if you use a credit card.Only if you use a debit card can they do this.Look for the site to have either https or the security lock at the bottom.http without the s is not secure…
