Vision Premier® Prepaid Visa® Card (Personalized)

Vision Premier
Issuer: The Bancorp Bank    Credit: No Credit Check
  • Get 1% cash back on gas charges.
  • Relatively high monthly and activation fees.
  • The cash rebate can pay for the fees.
Card Details
  • For users that spend a lot on gas this is a great card. This card pays back 1% cash back on gas purchases. There is a monthly fee on this card so you must spend enough on gas for this card to make sense. Here's how the numbers play out. With direct deposit if you purchase more than $795 of gas a month this card actually pays you back.
  • If you don't have direct deposit and spend $300 a month on gas then the cash back makes the net monthly fee paid on this card lower than other prepaids that require direct deposit. So for users that spend a lot on gas this is a great card.
  • Cash reloads at locations such as Walmart, 7-Eleven, Albertsons, CVS, Safeway, Kroger, ACE Cash Express and Walgreens that offer MoneyGram, Reloadit, MoneyPak, and Western Union. Fees range from $3.95 to $4.95.
  • A few cards waive ATM fees and even surcharge fees. This card does not so if you plan to do a lot of ATM withdrawal this card will not rank high.
  • Live customer service is free with direct deposit
