I read the article about the accepted credit card used for eve but I was just wondering would a wal-mart prepaid card visa debit work just as good?

Debit cards with the VISA or MasterCard logo should work just fine. I've even used VISA gift cards to pay for a sub and not had a problem. If in doubt, you could always submit a petition under the Billing category and get a definite answer to your question.

Debit and prepaid cards should work fine (although to be honest I haven't checked the Wal-Mart prepaid card myself), but if you run into any troubles, please file a petition under "Billing & Account" category and our GMs will help you out.

The main hang-up with pre-paid and gift cards is that some don't require an address attached to the card, which can cause problems in the approval process.

I've used VISA Gift Cards before and they work just fine, though you first need to activate them via the gift-card website (it's usually written on the back of the card).

I can't get rid of my darn signature!  Oh, wait....
