So, it's some type of pre-paid credit card that you purchase? then add money to, presumably at Walmart?
what sort of fees are involved (other than the $5 up front charge, which would probably stop me from buying it, on it's own, since they probably make their money off credit/debit card charges for fill-ups; not to mention it would involve actually stepping foot inside a walmart...)? |
There is only the $4.95 fee. There is no other fee involved. It's just virtual money with a code. You use that code to transfer the money to a permanent source like PayPal or a reloadable green dot credit card. Dish Network uses it for people to pay them money. Here's a list of
legit sites that take it.
Never send a Moneypak to someone you don't know. It's as simple as that.
