Though not reaching that religious point, be prepared to get you card used for criminal activities and the police to use this as the unique evidence they found that your the author of those crimes. | |

I would add "LUCKILY" (and my bank insisted I would use the other type of card which is "more risky"). | |

| Nov 30, 2016 at 2:48 | comment | added | Calrion | @Marcel It's probably something like a prepaid MasterCard. Some of these are only good for the original amount; others may be topped-up again and again, then discarded when no longer required (or expired). | |
| Nov 30, 2016 at 2:46 | comment | added | Calrion | @jpmc26 In my part of the world (Australia), anything with a Visa, MasterCard, or American Express (et. al.) logo is generally referred to as a "credit card" regardless of whether or not there's actually an attached line of credit. Contrast this with an EFTPOS card, which can be used at ATMs or points-of-sale but not anywhere a credit card is accepted. (They're not called "bank cards" because Bankcard was a brand of credit card.) | |

the fact that the card is prepaid seems pretty significant here.

| Nov 29, 2016 at 20:49 | comment | added | Marcel | Would you mind clarifying what kind of "preload credit card" that is? A debit card? Or other bank card, as @jpmc26 asked? Or some of the new "wireless payment cards"? | |
| Nov 29, 2016 at 20:35 | comment | added | jpmc26 | I'm not sure about Europe, but in America, prepaid cards are not typically referred to as "credit cards." At least not when the difference actually matters in context (which it does here). They're just called "prepaid cards" or "gift cards." "Credit card" usually implies an actual line of credit behind it. Even a card that's attached to a bank account instead of a credit line is differentiated as a "debit card" or "bank card." | |

Fixed grammar in title, too.

| Nov 29, 2016 at 10:53 | comment | added | André Borie | It's more about identity theft than just money. Imagine if this card (which you associated with yourself when making purchases and/or reloading it) was used for criminal activities like money laundering or buying phones for terrorists. You don't want to be involved in such an investigation even if you are innocent. | |

| Nov 28, 2016 at 23:29 | comment | added | Cort Ammon | @Michael I believe he is referring to a prepaid credit card | |
| Nov 28, 2016 at 23:15 | comment | added | Michael | What does "you have to charge in advance to make some buy" mean in the context of a credit card? | |
