had to cash a check that was left here for her. I am glad she is only 45 minutes away. So it is not a long drive for these type of trips. But, if, well. . .it would be nice if I could have just put the $$ onto a Prepaid Visa and she could use the card in her purse. It would make it easier.
I am looking into the program we wish to use for this account. I do know that I can reload the card at Taylor's where Dear Hubby works.
So how do you handle this type of situation. Do you mail money to your CG? Or do they have a debit card to your account? Have you created a credit card for them and would you prefer if it is prepaid? I know we do not need any unexpected expenses. And just the gas to drive home and get money is just that much more to add to the $$. What have you found works for you?
