Green Dot - Mastercard Review Summary

For those who like using credit cards but do not want the temptation of a large credit limit, there is one credit card you should strongly consider: Green Dot Mastercard, a prepaid Mastercard credit card. Reviews of this credit card point out the ease of use, widespread acceptability, and the fact that you control how much “credit” is available by adding exactly what you need. “Buy whatever, wherever, whenever, with Green Dot”, says one reviewer, and other reviews express similar feelings. There are some drawbacks, like the fact that there may not be enough money available when you really need it and the fact that you have to pay a small fee every time you add money. But consumers generally like this Credit Card and recommend it for those who want to develop the financial discipline that only a prepaid card can encourage.

  My husband and i have a mastercard green dot card.  It is a pretty nifty little card.  You don't have to worry about over the limit charges or outrageous finance charges.  The only kickback on this card is you have to pay almost $5.oo everytime that you add more money to it,… read full review »

Green dot is the worst prepaid credit card. I have had it for over 2 years and the reloads frequently screw up. It seems like I have a problem with the money on my card every third time I use it, and then it is a MAJOR hassle because its hard to reach a real person for customer service and when… read full review »

This is a great pre-paid credit card for those who want to control their spending or are unable to get a secured credit card. My wife and I use it for everything from paying bills to online casinos ( shhhh....not supposed to do that ).  It is easy to use and can be reloaded in quite a few different places, even at the CoinStar machines at your local grocery… read full review »

I prefer the prepay ability of the green dot credit card, becouse, yes you have a charge of 4.95 a month and a charge of 4.95 for every amount you put on the card. But if you only place large amounts onto your card then 4.95 is not much. And if you have direct deposit you don't get charged anything. — — I used to deal with bank credit cards and you were always getting hit with charges from interest to accidental overcharging. — — With the green dart there is no overcharging. How can you overcharge when there is no money left on the card. And on the outside… read full review »

  No credit? Bad credit? Not to worry with Green Dot MasterCard. You can still make those online purchases, in-store purchases and more.  I've had my Green Dot MasterCard for  about two years now & I wouldn't know what to do without it. You can put as much money as you need or want to on it & feel secure in knowing that where ever you use it, you can do so safely.  It's accepted every where that MasterCard is accepted. —    For only $4.95 a month for maintenance, it's a great card to have. Add money anytime you need to, check your balance any time.… read full review »
