Ordering online? Worried about theft?

A client in my class today, Robert B., suggested people buy a pre-paid credit card if they want to order online (Vistaprint.com. Angel Food Ministries, Sharecolorado.com). You preload the credit cards with a designated amount of money which you are comfortable in paying should your card number be accessed/stolen.

Pre-paid credit cards can be obtained at places such as WalMart, Walgreens, greendotonline.com and make your life much easier (they also make great gifts). Robert shared that there is no interest accrued on these cards which, if you have recently checked your other cards' interests rates, is a substantial savings.

Also, numbr.com also can provide a disposable phone number.
