Money is an unusual substance. I'm trying to get things straight for the trip my child will be taking to Europe. Changing from US currency to euros is quite a pain in the butt. It looks as though we'll have to get a gift card to purchase things overseas. We wanted to get a Visa Buxx card but seeing as the child in question is twelve instead of thirteen, we can't get one. You have to be thirteen to use the Visa Buxx card. I have no idea what the difference would be. I still have to pay for any amount of money placed on the card. It's not a credit card, it's only used as one. The difference between the Visa Buxx card and a gift card is that you can get cash from an ATM with the Buxx card. You can only use the gift card for purchases. I think that's dumb. If I want to give my child money on a prepaid credit card type account, why would it matter if they were two or thirty? Why does everyone have to make everything so difficult? I guess the search continues.
Best.
