GOOD QUESTION.
And uhhhh, I dunno for sure. I guess I don't see why it wouldn't? Because to the best of my knowledge, they run as if it were a normal Visa/MC transaction. But don't quote me on that.
The only other issue I can think of that you may run into is age verification. I'd bet there's no way they can do that with a prepaid card, and it *will* cause a problem with GetSnus in particular, because if they can't verify age, they won't ship.
I'd try with GetSnus, and give them a call first. You can send them a scan of your ID, and that'll be good enough for them. -
i used pre paid cards on the following no problems multiple times northener, getsnus, and nicotinerush.Comment

Re: Do any Snus sites accept prepaid cards as payments?

So you just bought a prepaid amount cash card from 7-11 or wherever, entered its number in the credit card number slot on the site.. and they sent it to you no problem?Originally posted by cyrax777Comment

I use them for certain things myself for this reason or another. I can say for certain that the only sites I have had an issue with is Buysnus/Snus Central. Something about the payment system they use does not like pre-paid of any sort. Northerner, when shipping from SWE only, does not like pre-paid Visa for some reason..but doesent have issues with pre-paid Mastercards...I know, weird as shit but thats what I had to do to get that site to use pre-paid.Comment

Good question. Originally, yes, you could. I did for use a Visa Gift Card for more than 5 orders. However, now you cannot. Visa doesn't like you, just your money, and they changed the cards so that they can now only be used for domestic US purchases. MasterCard and American Express make gift cards too, which you can try, but all of them have a steep 4-5 dollar activation fee, which is a can of good snus and 2 cans of cheaper snus. Plus, I would have to work hard to get the final total as close to the value on the card as possible, I'm talking within 10-15 cents.Comment

So a Mastergiftcards will work fine on purchases from outside the country?
Do you have it activated at the store you purchase it in?Comment

My favorite pre-paid is the HR Block Emerald MC. I got mine the first year they started offering them as a way to get your tax returns...they would just give you a Mastercard loaded in advance...rockin system. The card is fantastic. Low rates, nice website for balances, decent customer service, and best of all I have never had an issue ussing it anywhere online. Very easy to use and quick time direct deposit as well...thats what I use it for...certain payments comming in to me are set up on that account. Never had an issue. I even lost my wallet once and had to get a new one and it was effortless.
If any of you folks have the opportunity and are in a position where you are considering it this upcomming tax season (students, ect), it has my full endorsment.

When I order my snus with the prepaid, I would select the 'Debit' option correct?Comment
