Question: Prepaid card with Bill Pay and low fees?
Are there any cards that can be loaded with cash that allows mainly bill pay without being shut down?

Does anyone know of one with cheap load/monthly fees?

Serve (as posted above) or Target Prepaid RedCard are the best options IMO.

Sorry...I am using those for Bill Pay as well. What else is out there other than those options?

I see what you did there.

Anyways, T-Mobile Money is a prepaid card with low fees (that are circumventable). It has a bill pay feature (although I've heard that if you almost exclusively use it that you'll get your account closed).

Search the forums. Prepaid cards with low fees are invaluable for MSing, so if there is not a thread for one, it either does not exist or has not been (and probably will not be) mentioned.

Sigh!

You add nothing to this thread.

For others...I've researched the following
T-Mobile Prepaid...good option but shut downs are frequent when using BP
Walgreens Balance Financial...too expensive to do BP along with expensive fees to load

Anyone else with good ideas?

I've heard of the "Rush" card with the ability to deposit MO into it via Ingo...share your thoughts

For those who may have Current prepaid card from years ago that's like Vbuxx, it doesn't charge inactivity/dormancy fees. There are those that have a $50 annual fee/$5 per month maintenance fee but I got the version with just an initial fee. You may have this card and forgot about it; you can still fund them with bank acct/CC with no fees.

The cards that win the "best card with low fees and Billpay" also tend to win the "most likely to get shutdown" award.
