Green dot cards/prepaid cards?

how old do you have to be to buy one?
Which is better...green dot..or newly a prepaid mastercard or visa or something like that

and how old do you hold to be for each of these kinds of cards.

I'm 16

anything you can update me about these cards would be helpful too

Answers:    You can buy a card close to this at any age.. you just have to settle the money up front. Pre-paid only goes up to $100 though.. so if u want more than 100$ i would suggest the green dot.

I intuitively prefer the green dot card. You can purchase it and activate it with an ammount up to $5000 i believe.. You call for to make sure you also get the "money pack" item. That is so you can add money to your card. It is awesome for international travel as well if you are doing any of that.

Good Luck! =)
