but when it isn't affiliated with your bank, there's still the issue of getting the money onto the card.


Hi Pat - Actually that's what I did. My bank didn't have it, so I went to one that did. (I know - diff system here but....)
In this case (e.g.) the Bank of Montreal offered the prepaid service thru MasterCard. I didn't have to open a chequing or savings account. There was a small initial fee.

I put money into the prepaid (minimum top-up $100 though) via my own bank's on-line "bill paying" - the prepaid bank gets listed as one of my bill payers - a great feature.

Does that sound like something you might be able to do? Sure convenient. If you have $$
