Can parents see what you buy with a prepaid debit card?
There's no statement sent with prepaid debit cards. A prepaid debit card is simply cash loaded on a card. Your parents can't access the transaction records without having the card number, so they can't see where you're spending the money any more than they could if they'd handed you cash instead. Even the transaction records only show where the money was spent, not what was purchased. You can probably see that it shows what store you used the card at and how much you spent, and it may say what type of store it was... groceries or clothing, for instance... but it doesn't show that you bought, say, a pair of jeans or a six pack of soda. If the card were linked to your parents' bank account, the same would be true, only the transactions would appear on their regular account statements, and they could access the records by accessing their bank account.

What name do i put on a green dot prepaid visa card?
How old do you have to be to use the Card? Anyone at any age can buy and use this Card. However, for those underage, a parent or legal guardian must be on the phone during the account activation process in order to accept the Cardholder Agreement on behalf of their underage child. Some merchants will ask to see the ID of the cardholder. So, it may be wise for underage users to have a student ID or other type of valid ID when using the Card. (by the way...if you reload your card at Walgreens, it takes over an hour for your funds to be available after you activate it.)

Walgreens Green dot PrePaid visa Credit Cards?
I use to have one of those. .actually they are debit cards, they are not connected with your credit. Basically, you pay the $9.99 startup fee(sometimes this in discounted) PLUS whatever money amount you want to start off with. DO NOT BUY THE CARD THAT SAYS MONEYPAK FIRST! That is only for those who already have the actual card with their name on it. So you follow the instructions on the card, go online,set up pin etc,etc. The drawback to this thing is that your actually spending more throughout the year. There is the 9.99 start up fee, 4.95 monthly maintenance fees, plus 4.95 EVERY time you buy a MONEYPAK. Best thing to do is to save up a decent amount of money for online purchases, buy a MONEYPAK and put it all in at once instead of a little everytime you see something you want. So...EXAMPLE.......you see a cool t-shirt online, go to walgreens sign up with the starter card, pay 9.99 plus whatever the t-shirt is worth plus tax and shipping(or more as i mentioned for future purchases). I think they give you your card number right off the bat on the starter card so you can go home and after an hour, type that in. Then wait for the actual card in the mail for whatever else you want in the future. Oh yeah and the monthly maintenance fees add up even if you dont use it and even if you have no more money in it, so the next time you try to load it, say, after 2 months, it will have the monthly maintenance fees as a negative balance and will subtract that automatically from whatever amount you put on the moneypak. Like if you have 2 months maint fees equal to about $10 and you load your card with $20, you end up with $10 in the account because of your negative balance from the fees. As i said, it cost more than its worth, so if you plan on buying from large websites like ebay, overstock, macys or whatever, its best to go to like a Krogers grocery store and get the giftcards you can use online for the specific stores, for anything else its best to use the ONE TIME ax/vi/mc giftcards they also sell at stores. Hope i didnt confuse you too much!
If I use my debit card to buy something, can my parents find out the history of my shopping?
If they have access to your account statement then yes, they definitely can. But there is a catch here. If your purchases are mainly online, keep in mind that often the real merchant name is not displayed on the statement.For example, let's say you buy some DVDs from an online store. It is not necessary that the online store's name will appear on the statement. It is very likely that the payment processor's name will appear. For example, "XYZ Payment services".And if you are buying stuff from a website which stocks several things, then the website's name will appear and the statement will not really reflect which product you bought. If you buy a set of DVDs from Flipkart, the statement will show "Flipkart" (or probably "WS Retail", don't exactly remember).
