lovelomsak Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 Does anyone know where I can buy disposable credit cards inThailand. When I was in my home country 2 months ago I found everyone I knew was using theses to do online purchases,they felt it was safer. If I could buy some here in thailand would be nice for internet use.

jaideeguy Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 Great concept....never heard of it, [maybe been here too long] but i would buy one if available here and use it as you mentioned on the internet or where ever you don't want to 'expose' your main credit/debit card.

lovelomsak Posted June 15, 2010 Author Share Posted June 15, 2010 I am from Canada my friends buy them in amounts of $20 $50 and $100. They are just a heavy paper card with the number on it. After purchase simply use as credit card till it is all used up then throw away. I amnot positive but I believe they have the same amount of identifying numbers as a credit card but once the value is used it is useless. There is a cost involved in buying them. I amnot sure but I think the $100 one you pay an additional $7.50.So $100 credit card costs you $107.50. You can but them online but again you need to use an ordinary card to purchase and they are just virtual cards. they also have an expiry date if I amnot mistaken. You can use it up all at once or use a few times till it is finished. Funny no one seems to have heard of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dumball Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 I asked about those in Canada but my bank does not issue them , after talking to the manager for a while , I took her advice and obtained the first credit card in my life , I just 'Stack 'my card and use ir for cash withdrawals over a bank counter for which there is no charge , there is no ATM charge ($3.00) by my bank , I only pay the exchange . There is no 'Card charge' as I have not borrowed any money from the bank , cheapest way I could find without problems , use online banking to re'Stack'it when I want quick cash .

flying Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 (edited) They have them in the US also & have had them for quite sometime. It is a good work around for folks who cannot or do not want cards. For things like car rental or online purchases etc... PS: I never tried it but this article said you can also generate your own on Paypal http://www.geardiary.com/2009/01/24/use-paypals-free-disposable-credit-card-number-to-manage-recurring-charges/ Edited June 15, 2010 by flying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
