Paul, there are prepaid cards that are designed specifically for Canadians. I suggest you speak to a local financial institution in Canada to find out what prepaid card products are available to you.

Who can tell me whether this card, or other prepaid cards, is available to non-residents of the U.S.? There seems to be a problem with this - the card issuers blame it on the Patriot Act, but the Patriot Act does not say that cards cannot be issued to non-residents, only that proper ID has to be obtained. I am a resident of Canada and am finding that most of the issuers of prepaid cards will not provide cards to Canadian residents.

Ok i have had it with the walmart prepaid cards i reported one lost a long time ago. got a new one and then quit using it . then bought another today and they are sending my hard earned money back cause i can't have no more than two cards. even though i don't have all the infor for the old one now i have to wait to order my new grooming clippers cause you guys are sending money back for me to put on the other card. and I needed my clippers this week and i don't have a job right now. I think that stinks. cause if you would went head and actived my card i could of order my clippers and they would be here in time to groom my dogs next week . and the girl at the serivce desk told me snice I didn't remenber my password i had to get a new one. now it'll be a whole new week and guess what i don't even get the 3 dollors back from the new and they are holding 9 dollors out for the old ones. that stinks. i will not have a walmart prepaid after this thanks for screwing with my income.

Karen, most online merchants are happy to accept Visa as payment for purchases. Check to see if the websites feature a Visa logo or otherwise advertise acceptance of credit cards.
