Dear fellow list members. :-) I tried claiming the gift vertificate from netspend but was to late. :-( I am interested in getting a couple of netspend cards but am not in Texas or anywhere else in the US.
I found out that in order to get a netspend debit card you NEED a US mailing address.... Not that this is a problem, I have friends that can be trusted but it did piss me off.... I just think it is a typical example of the narrow minded US companies can be. WHY is it that most US companies do not realize there is business conducted OUTSIDE of the US and that people might use another currency then dollars. Why is it that most US companies do not know that a 1-800 number really does not work from outside the US, so forget any customer support. There is allways a 'normal' number linked up to a 1-800 number but nobody ever seems to know this alternate phone number. This is one of the reasons most software outside the US is pirated.... After all, who is paying for unsuported software. :-) Even if you are willing to pay a premium international telephone fee for support you cant get it..... Anyway, I want to get a netspend card, fill it with cash and use it. Netspendgold seems to have a good thing going here but their site was down when I checked.... (I got a no gold price error) I do prefer the netspend approach over the other debit cards I've seen being connected to e-gold. This card has the LOWEST rates I've seen so far.. (The other ones are just downright expensive...) At least the netspend card has a online transaction history. (I tried the other e-gold connected cards but they all charge for this feature wich should be free...) I refuse to pay for 'account access'... So...... If someone in the US would start reselling netspend cards and mail 'm out to lots of people world wide they would have a nice business, piggy backing on netspend. :-) Best regards, Martijn @ [EMAIL PROTECTED] -------------------------------------------------------------------- mail2web - Check your email from the web at http://mail2web.com/ . --- You are currently subscribed to e-gold-list as: [email protected] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Use e-gold's Secure Randomized Keyboard (SRK) when accessing your e-gold account(s) via the web and shopping cart interfaces to help thwart keystroke loggers and common viruses.
