Quick reply to your survey. Btw, love reading your posts!
1. Pre paid credit cards:
A. Get mine at Kroger. No cameras like Walmart, quick and easy. Use them for my burner as well as sa when IHave signed up. Visa, non refillable. Bad point is the few bucks left on the card.
B. I know what the charge will be so I load a few bucks more. If you load just enough, sometimes it went go through, need at least $2 or $3 more.
C. Use fake name, address and tel number to activate it. Must use same bogus info when using it. I've done it so many times I remember the bogus info better than my own!
D. See above. Bogus everything. Works fine.
E. Got a stack of cards with a few bucks each. Need to figure out an easy use for them. Also strongly considering a reloadable but the monthly charge sucks.
2. Hotel.
A. Never tried the short term or daytime but worth a try!
B. Found several places that take cash but they still need ID. I use real info in that case and keep fingers crossed.
C. Several times had the baby book or check in. That works great.
