Question for those with financial or banking heads.......
My daughter will be working at a Summer Camp for rich kids in the US for three months as of next week. She's been issued with one of these cards which carry the mastercard symbol "for her convenience".
Anyone ever used one over there? Is it a better and cheaper option of using her debit card? I ask the question as I know of someone who had difficulty using one a couple of times despite having ample funds on the card. Curious to know if anyone has experience of using one in the US?
Another thing that makes me cringe about using a debit/credit card in the US is the slackness of any security. When I've been there, it was mind blowing that my card was simply swiped through a terminal at stores without so much as a pin request, signature or request for ID. Thats another issue though.
