Online Shopping with 3V Visa

I have never been one to worry too much about handing out my credit card number online or identity theft. I probably should be more wary than I am. I know many people are wary of online banking, shopping online because they don’t want any of their personal information in the wrong hands.

So when I heard about 3V Visa prepaid vouchers I thought well those are great for people who are not comfortable shopping online.

The more I got thinking about 3V Visa vouchers I also thought they would be great for those that don’t have access to  a credit card. So for teens (over 16 or with the aid of a parent) and twenty somethings who have yet to get their first credit card, but want to shop online say at itunes or asos.com.

Its like getting $50 for your birthday, but instead of going to the mall you can go online and shop!

Sure you can use paypal, but that information is directly linked to you, whereas the 3V cash doesn’t have your personal information associated with it, except an email.

I was contacted by 3V Visa Canada about doing this post and in return was able to give you a $30 3V Visa voucher to use towards your favourite online or catalog shopping. Giveaway details below. I was also provided a $20 voucher to use myself; they are super easy to use because they are accepted anywhere Visa is accepted.

You can buy 3v Visa prepaid vouchers at Esso and Canadian Tire gas stations, or one of the other 15000 locations across Canada.

Also note that if you don’t use all of your balance the first time you can manage your voucher dollars online. You can also use this window to reclaim your Visa number after the fact because it will not be included in the email which sends your security information.

I used my 3V Visa to get myself a subscription to loulou magazine from Well.ca! To enter to win the $30 3V Visa voucher, share where YOU would shop online with 3V Visa Cash!! Giveaway will run until Thurs February 10th. Canadians ONLY.
