Teen Prepaid Card

I don’t think there were any programs available like the PAYjr Teen Prepaid Card when my son was a teen but it sure would have been nice. It would have been especially nice during my son’s senior year since he was living with his father during that time and I had to make special arrangements to pay for some of his expenses. In addition to child support I also assumed responsibility for all the extras like yearbook, cap and gown, karate lessons, senior trips, proms, etc. etc. It would have been easier to have a convenient way to send him the money when I got the phone call “hey Mom, I need money for blah blah blah”. Instead I had to meet him somewhere to hand him a check.

These days parents are lucky to have access to a program like PAYjr Teen Prepaid Card for their teenagers. The card is a convenient way to give teens money electronically and great for getting money to a teen quickly in an emergency.

This might sound strange but I think this would also be a good thing for my adult step-son and daughter-in-law. We have wired them money several times and let me tell you, wiring money is not cheap. If we had one of these PAYjr prepaid credit cards we could send them money electronically and save a lot of hassle and a lot of money by not paying the wiring fees.

The PAYjr Prepaid MasterCard card is a re-loadable prepaid card designed for teens but in our situation I think it would work well for our adult son. He is a Marine stationed in Iraq and his wife is still on base in North Carolina with their two small children. Emergencies do come up and in the event we need to get money to them quickly I think the PAYjr Prepaid credit card would suit our needs very well. I’ll be running it by my husband to see that he thinks.
