My parents dont like using their CC on the internet cause they think every site is a scam *sigh*. I'm wondering if pre-paid Credit cards work to buy some stuff off of steam? If not would registering that card with paypal work? Also where would be a place to get a Visa or Mastercard ones (in Canada).

I used one yesterday morning for COD4. The other one I got doesn't work though. So, they do work but some of them won't I think.

You're parents think its a scam? Sorry to hear that dude, I feel for you. Most parents don't understand computers or magical picture screens, it's a generation thing. Anyway seems like pre-paid cards work just fine.

Thanks, that seems like a perfect solution (other than the ridiculous start up fee, but i'm willing to pay it).

The only downside to that card is the startup fee and the $1.50 it costs when you put money onto it. Other than that it's great and works everywhere a regular credit card works.
