As you may be aware, MasterCard® has been moving away from allowing people to charge prescription drugs online with their card services. The reason why is unclear. Some say it is due to excessive chargebacks from customers. Others say it's because they're getting ready to sell the business to another corporation and they're cleaning up the books.
Whatever the reason, if you're like me, most of the cards I carry are MasterCard®. I want to make sure I've got something available I can use in the event I can't use MasterCard® any longer for any prescription purchase. Not all of the online pharmacies out there take COD or Money Orders either. So what are we to do?
Here are a handful of choices for you depending on your own credit situation.
New Millennium Bank offers you a secured Platinum Visa® guaranteed upto $5000 per card. That means you can add that much into the secured savings of each card, (or less than that if you choose) and then use it as you would any unsecured credit card. It will be reported to the credit bureaus just like a regular card so that you can build your credit score as you go. And, there's no credit check!
The Aspire Visa® is unsecured, meaning you don't have to put up a deposit in order to get it. It is a Visa® Card and you can use it anywhere Visa® is accepted. But if your credit isn't great, then that's okay, you can still get approved through Aspire!
If you do have good to excellent credit and still need a Visa® card, then the other three shown below can help you accrue points whenever you use the card. The last one from Pulaski Bank, offers a 7.99% ongoing interest rate for upaid balances.
