| 1365837 | 2014-01-22 18:35:00 | I wanted to use a prepaid credit card, to use with Internet subscription websites. So I got a Kiwibank "loaded" / prepaid credit card. However 90% of the international websites rejected it. I went to Kiwibank to close it, cash it out. I've seen glaciers move faster than the Kiwibank queue. When I finally got to the teller, he talked to two mangers, searched through 6 drawers and about 20 binders before he found the right form. After his epic ten minutes search, he told me I need to pay a $15 fee! So I left without closing it, went to an ATM and withdrew as much as I could. |

| 1365839 | 2014-01-22 19:33:00 | I purchased it for myself; some call it a prezzy card. www.nzpost.co.nz "Get a reloadable prepaid Visa card to use for purchases online, in-store or to get cash from ATMs. It’s the convenience of a credit card with the control of a prepaid card.

| 1365841 | 2014-01-22 21:33:00 | Strange ... I have a Kiwibank Visa debit card ... can't use it unless there's money in the account and I've never had a problem with using it online. I keep the balance really low and just transfer money into it when I use it online. I consider it a bit of a safety measure as anyone who gets all my details and tries to use them, ain't gonna get diddly squat out if it. | SP8's (9836) | ||
| 1365842 | 2014-01-22 21:45:00 | Never considered it, I heard that with any debit card it is pretty common that you make a booking with a hotel and they take 2x the price as a temp deposit but b/c it is a debit card it can get into issues when you have other stuff to use. I just have Kiwibank's Zero CC which is a fee-less card provided you use it once every 3 months doing your usual stuff, supermarket, petrol, cellphone top ups .. |

| 1365843 | 2014-01-22 21:56:00 | Strange . . . I have a Kiwibank Visa debit card . . . can't use it unless there's money in the account and I've never had a problem with using it online . I believe that's a different type of card . I don't have a Kiwibank account . As mentioned, my problem card is sometimes called a "pressy card" . For example it doesn't have the normal "firstname lastname" imprinted on the card . |

| 1365844 | 2014-01-22 23:23:00 | The "Prezzy card" is a one off and can't be reloaded again unfortunalty.. | paulw (1826) | ||
| 1365845 | 2014-01-23 19:15:00 | The "prezzy" card can be reloaded. Notice on this website, "prezzy card" and "loaded visa" are used interchangeably. www.nzpost.co.nz In any case, I believe it's accepted by few internet sales companies, based overseas. |
