Love the prepaid card idea. Finally some freedom to spend my money on what I want without having to ask my parents for their credit card. I love the Myplash card I have which is similar to the Bill My Parents system they have going on. Love it!

The site essentially works like a "Wish List" for kids to pick what they want to buy online, like for their birthday, and then the parent decides what to pay for.
The parent also does not have to give their payment information to each site that the child wants to buy stuff from. Similar to paypal they can keep their credit card info secure for use on just one site.

Good idea gone wrong!
I too loved the concept behind this company and its website but needed to cancel my main card that it drawled from. That's when I realized that the website won't let you change anything. I couldn't change bank account, addresses or cancel the card itself or better yet the actual account. Also there isn't a email address under contact us that will get you to a customer service person. Now I just feel trapped. Parents be careful...I still haven't been able to close this account. I have found a better way threw our chase bank for my 15 yr old son.

BillMyParents Cards Rock!
I think BillMyParents is an awesome sight because it really does help with the teenagers spending money. I have three teens at home and they all have a card. I put $25 on it a month and they know thats all they get, unless they are going out of town for some reason. The teenager that knows how to do it the best is 14 years old. My others are 13 and 16. This card is great. It is so much better than a bank card on it to. The kids love it because over the holidays, there aunts and uncles can put money on to it instead of getting them actual gifts. I totally reccommend it.

Customer DISservice
The card would be ok but it didnt really teach them anything they couldnt learn with cash. My key thing was their customer service I need to cancel my daughters cards. Initially i was only calling for refund information because I intended to cancel only one card but after such a negative experience with your ill equiped and unhelpful customer service I need to cancel both cards so I dont have to have any further contact with Bill my parents ever again. Customer service should be just that not treating a customer like a criminal by giving them 2 chances to answer a question. The bank doenst even do that, they allow you to verify other items even if one item can not be verified, this is a prepaid card for christ sake with 2 small balances. If I was a criminal I wouldnt waste my time on these accounts. Considering the cash belongs to me I would have appreciated assistance on how to proceed IF I decided to cancel, which now that decision has been made for me. Your hours for the credit dept is during normal work hours (9-5) and I have to wait for them to call me I cant call them so Im not sure how Ill ever get this straightened out. Maybe that is by design. PS pray you never get Emily on the line because all she will ever say is NO Ma'am/sir because she cant do anything about anything
