Aren't there other prepaid MCs out there similar to VisaBuxx? I was under the impression that this was an "up-and-coming" program designed to lure unsuspecting tweens and teenagers into the world of plastic, thus priming them to become 18%-interest-rate-junkies once they hit college...

There are not that many here in the US, and very few of the ones that are here treat the funding as a purchase, instead of a cash advance that doesnt' generate miles. The success if relatively easy to obtain debit cards has pretty much killed the prepaid market.
