[edit] Additional details?
It would be useful if the article had some information on how exactly the card is different from a regular credit card. Phrases like "Pre-loaded" and "pre-paid" create certain impressions on people, but IMO they do not go far enough towards explaining what the point of a green dot card is.
Other topics might include reasons people would opt for a green dot card, and its advantages and disadvantages over normal cards. Pseudomorph 17:13, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
- I added a paragraph of explanation. There's more in Stored-value card, but that's an ugly article, and probably not a good place for discussion of prepaid credit cards.
- I don't like the current "Criticism" quote, but I didn't change it. The author describes the fees as "so egregious that they actually encourage switching to a competitor", but he works for a competitor. I would have been happier with discussion from a social services organization, or other party without a financial interest.
- This should really get split into a separate article on pre-paid cards, remittance cards, and similar products in general, distinct from the transit cards and gift cards in stored-value card. 24.91.134.90 05:21, 14 September 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Green Dot Discover
I went to the Green Dot website, but find no product that includes the Discover logo. Is this product still offered? If not, should reference to it be removed from the article? mdkarazim (talk) 16:28, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
