[QUOTE="Andorlings, post: 320672, member: 37792"] A credit card allows you to borrow money up to a certain limit set by the issuer and pay it back with interest and other fees, while a prepaid credit card is not a line of credit and you can only spend the amount that has been preloaded onto the card. In other words, with a credit card, you are borrowing money from the issuer and with a prepaid card, you are spending your own money that you loaded onto the card in advance. Here are some more differences between a credit card and a prepaid credit card: Credit Card: *Offers a line of credit provided by the issuer, which you can use to make purchases or withdraw cash *You are required to make monthly payments, including paying back the borrowed amount plus interest and other fees *Your credit score may be impacted positively or negatively based on how you use the card and whether you make payments on time *Often comes with rewards and other benefits, such as cash back, points, miles, or discounts May require a good or excellent credit score to be approved Prepaid Card: *Does not offer a line of credit, you can only spend the amount that has been preloaded onto the card *No interest or fees, since you are not borrowing money *Does not impact your credit score, since it's not a loan *May offer some rewards or benefits, but typically less compared to credit cards *Does not require a credit check, making it easier to obtain In summary, a credit card is more flexible and offers more benefits, but also comes with higher risk, while a prepaid card is a safer option but with less flexibility and benefits.
