Visa claims they have stopped offering the virtual visa "to prevent fraud" and assorted [censored]. Do the physical cards also cost $2.00USD?

I stopped by a local gas station to find the All Access Visa card, and it costs $3.95 to load $25, $50, $100, and perhaps larger increments. TOO MUCH.

Anyone found any that work at Sportsbook.com?

Thanks guys.

Perhaps I should have clarified. With a particular goal in mind, the goal here being a consistently available method of deposit and a consistently available method of withdrawal [much like the pre-Jan 17th internet poker landscape] with the lowest fees possible or no fees at all. $3.95 is too much, 4%, wherever you pulled that figure from, would be WAY too much, unless I was only dealing with chump change deposits, which I am not.

With the goal being to resemble the former poker landscape as much as possible, the fees and fee schedules of a great many payment processors and prepaid gift cards are simply ridiculous, and poker players should not be so eager to accept them.

I understand we're all in a bind here, but we all must agree that the fees simply cannot continue unless we want to see our poker ecosystem completely die out.

$6.95 is the cheapest shipping option (1st class mail) for a giftcards.com VISA. Not as good or nearly as quick as the $2 fee for the virtual VISA, but not too bad if you get one with the max load ($500).

just picked up a Visa Gift Card (from IDT it looks like), at Walgreens...was $5.95 card charge for $100. Loaded it onto Stars w/o any issues...The packaging is yellow, and says "one card. All of your favorite places." on it...and has a small IDT logo in the bottom left. I took a picture with my camera, but cant seem to find a cord to show what it looks like.

Does anyone know when they are going to bring back the Virtual Prepaid Visa? Have they already? Thanks in advance.
