Mandy,

You can reload these cards online or at stores. here is a link I found on the Visa site:

Go to Wal-Mart Money card at http://www.walmart.com/cp/1073524
There is a link titled “Six easy ways to reload your Card” and it outlines how your card can be re-laoded. Some cost $3 per transaction, some are free. It appears that if you load the card on-line or through a Electronic Fund Transfer from your bank, you could load your son’s card from home. We are looking at it for a school trip to Disney – trying to decide if the fees charged by the reloadable card are worth the ability to reload vs the lower fees with the Visa Gift Card. Both have up-front fees: $3 for the reloadable and $4-5 for the gift card, but then the reloadable has an additional $3 to load it and for each subsequent load (unless done on-line) AND it has a monthly fee. For a one time use item, might be best to do the gift card. Some banks have Parent/student credit/debit cards you might want to look into for the student abroad.
You may also want to look at the Visa and Mastercard sites, or even Green Dot. They give you locations where you can purchase in person, or on-line instructions.

I am setting up a customer referral program so I would like the option to reload cards for past clients who refer business to me. Thanks Kwame for doing the research on this.

Is the holder if either card; Gift Card OR Reloadable Card, required to have ID when using them. I want to get the reloadable for my 17 yr old who does not have his learner’s permit yet.

I’m thinking about purchasing one of the Visa Reloadable Prepaid cards for our son who’s away at collage. If he has the card, am I able to reload it from our hometown and how do I go about this?

The Visa Gift Card is not “reloadable”. Once the initial value on a Visa Gift Card is spent, the plastic becomes worthless. On the other hand, the Visa Reloadable Prepaid card can be reloaded with cash several times over until the expiration date listed on the card.
