Im trying to buy HAWX, which is 49.99, and I got two prepaid cards that have less then 50 dollars on each, but enough combined, is it possible to enter them both so I can get it, or am I gonna have to go find a actual credit card.

dont think you can use two for the one thing.... you might be able to transfer the money off of them and onto a paypal account and do it that way though

There's a $1 fee for using pre-paids afaik. I tried buying FO3, which was $49.99, and I had a fresh $50 pre-paid. They charged me a dollar, then told me I had insufficient funds.

I buy with pre-paids all the time and I've never seen that.

I thought it was an error, so I tried again, and it said insufficient funds. I went to check my transactions, I was charged twice, by Steam, a dollar each time. Maybe it depends if it's a Mastercard or Visa, etc.?

I hope your kidding

Oh well, a pre paid credit card is a card kids can get in store...they pay lets say 50 bucks for it and its like if they had a regular credit card in their hand, but worth 50$ before being useless.

wow, so it's pointless, why not just have a credit or debit card?
Why not just use the $50

oh wait, so it can be used to by shit online?
Still kinda pointless, but less then I thought

Whenever you swipe or enter a credit card number, anywhere at all, it sends a $1 charge to the card to make sure it is valid and has funds available, usually they disappear in a day or two. It never actually takes it out of the account, it just places it on hold.

FYI
that's exactly right

Got it as a Christmas gift, usually just go and trade it in for cash, was planning on buying a small bubbler with it, but got one at the shop instead.

Not every one can get credit or debit cards due to bad credit.  This also keeps you from going over, can only use what's there.
It is a big plus for those under 18 as they can't get credit/debit cards on there own or for a gift card that's not tied to a specific store.

How can you not get a debit card? That's just a way of spending your money, no credit involved.

If you have a bank account, you should also get a debit card. Otherwise your account is shit. I've had a debit card since I was about 12.
