do not go this route. If the individual you gift this to doesn't use the card right away they will not receive the whole give. Their is a monthly service charge that will reduce the amount on the card. Granted it is less than visa (2.50) a month but that money could have been used to buy a gallon of milk or my child's lunch instead. Much better served giving them a gift card to a specific store or cash.

Absolutely!!!This is a real hassel....especially for being a gift!! I dont want to have to make a call or get online or have to keep a ledger for every card!!! At least have the balance show up on the receipt of whatever was purchased with the card!!!
