Has anyone used pre-paid credit cards or VISA gift cards on their thru-hike? I like the idea of the convenience and security of credit cards / bank cards but have an aversion to banks and do not want a bank account. Do small businesses accept them? I've accepted them as payment from customers at work and they seem to work exactly like any other credit card. Does not having a name on them to match up to an ID pose problems? Are there any hidden fees associated with using pre-paid or gift cards? Thanks for any advice.
