Anyone want to assist me with this dilemma?

[Syephro]

So, here's the deal. I'm no longer working so my Comdata card is sitting empty and I now have no way of purchasing anything online with a debit card. Being a debit card through work, no deposits can be made to it. Tried. Lol. And I'm 16, so I can't open a bank account here with a debit card linked to it for purchasing, asked 3 different banks in my area. What do I do? I don't even need a full time card. Because it seems most pre-paid debit cards charge monthy fees and reload fees and all that jazz. Just something to run to the store and put money on to buy something online when needed.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
-Sye

Because I'm appreciative of help from any of my MPGH peers. Is it so wrong to be respectful and formal around here?

I'm sorry... I was just seeking help. I couldn't find a straight answer anywhere.

Open a checking account at your bank, most require a certain amount of money in it.
Then you'll get a bank debit card which is linked to the checking account, which you can use online. You can deposit money through it too.

Stated in the OP that I've tried to and they have denied me for being too young. I can only open a savings and only have access to a card that lets me withdraw from an ATM. That's it.

Ask for your parents' card or something

Since you're under the age you're most likely still living at home. Get your mother/father/guardian to open an account with you. That's how I got my first debit card.

Man. I wish it was that easy. My parents aren't exactly good with money... I try to keep my money as concealed as possible. But, thanks for the suggestion. I might give a MasterCard giftcard a go. Since it's a one time load thing.

He is trying to act mature, honestly everyone on this forums lacks maturity.

Most banks let you open it up if your parents claim legal ownership.

Otherwise, you can get an Amex Reloadable Prepaid card, you can hook up your savings to withdraw. Dunno if you'll get accepted if you're "too young."
