Or is there a way to pull cash out of the Green Dot card after you fund it?
I don't think you miss anything. Almost everything comes with a fee. The rebate offer only saves you activation fee. Why would you get a pre-paid card that you have to pay for monthly maintenance ($4.95) and reloads?
See their
fee schedule:
Fees:
Activation Suggested Retail Price $9.95
Reload - Direct Deposit Free
Reload - at a Retailer with MoneyPak or swipe Suggested Retail Price $4.95 or Less Suggested Retail Price $4.95 or Less
Monthly Maintenance $4.95 for unlimited purchase transactions
Purchase Transactions FREE
Withdrawal
ATM Cash Withdrawal $2.50* ($3.00 International ATM)
ATM Declined Withdrawal $0.50
* Student Cardholders pay $0.99 per ATM Cash Withdrawal.
I think I'll just stick with my miles/points/cashback CCs.
