I work for CVS who sells the Green Dot cards. Anyone who comes in asking about them, I advise them of all of the charges. The reload fees, activation fees, and not to mention the fees they charge each time you reload it. I cannot tell you how many customers have come in and said these people took money off their card before they even had a chance to use it the first time. Most people buy one to get satellite, and then have to come back to add more because the company took funds off before they even had a chance to call for satellite. I hate this company and I wish we did not carry this card. A lot of people like it and I am not sure why. I would suggest buying a Visa, Mastercard, or American Express Gift Card. It doesn't have your name on it so you have to be careful not to loose it, but they only charge the 3.95-5.95 activation fee and no other fees after that unless you buy a new card. You cant reload them and you have to buy a new one each time, but its better than paying tGreen dots crazy fees. GOod Luck!
