Ok so I dont have a job nor a credit card, im only 14, I need help figuring out how I can get like a card or something I can put money on, so I can use it to buy peoples videos and stuff. My parents dont want to go through the trouble with buying shit on the internet in the first place, and also Im pretty sure they dont want buy you guy's video and they definately dont want me "imitating" it but what they dont know wont hurt them...I just need to know how I can a card or where I have a way to buy stuff, hope its not too confusing, I just need to know how.

if you setup a bank account it comes standard. no fee or anything. and since your not 18 it won't be anything close to a credit card.

Talk to your bank. I'm guessing they have something like the UK's solo cards in the US. As Justin said, there'll be no cost in setting it up.

go to you bank open a free checking account. put more then 10 bucks in and you'll get a debit card, a checkbook and a bank account.

I've had a Solo since I was about 12. Just go and ask your bank.

I got my actual debit card through a couple days ago ^__^

The easiest thing to do is get something called a greendot card. You go to really any gas station now a days, and you get the card for free. Your parent has to buy it for you but you name is on it and everything. You have a pin and you can swipe it just like a normal debit card and everything. No contracts no nothing. But the only setback is when you refill it (by going to the a gas station and giving the lady money) is cost like three dollars and you can only refil in multiples of 20 going up to $500 dollars.

I called the bank today about it and they said since im under 18 I need my parent with me to sign papers...but my dad said he will, so after christmas, when I get more money you guys better have some good dvds out cause I havent bought any yet :( dont hate, but hit me up about your new one or something and I will probably buy it.

Bordumb's DVD will be done after Christmas, we're editing it over our break and we'll probably just be giving copies out. Since it's been...2 years in the making. So you should definitely get ours first. And that Greendot thing MP4 was talking about is really easily accessed, I just don't suggest it because it's really hard to use those online to buy things, they don't always have the right information that goes with them to enter to Paypal. They're good for things you buy in person, just not online.

Yeah I just rather get something I can use anywhere whether its in the pain in the ass to get or not, Its a need for me and you guys. So if you want your DVD bought post it here, I will get Rays first. I will have enough to buy like 5 dvds after christmas, everyone else after that has to wait a few weeks after :P
