My mom is going on a trip to Europe but doesn't have a debit or credit card and is being told that Sweden is mostly cashless and she'll need a card of some sort. Regardless of if this is true or not, I'd rather not just have her out there with a wad of cash, so I'm looking for a prepaid card but I'm getting conflicting reports on what's available. Can I get a card in my name and have her use it, or does it need to be in her name? Does anyone have any suggestions for what cards to get? Anything else I should look out for or be aware of?

T.C. posted:You can generally add people as secondary card holders to your credit account. They will normally issue a card to that person with their name on it but it will show up on your statement and you are responsible for their charges Oh lol that's absolutely not going to work. She is very irresponsible with money (there's a REASON why she doesn't have a credit or debit card) and there's no loving chance I'm going to let her on my accounts. That's why I'm looking for a prepaid card, so I can fill it up and say "you get this many dollars, and if you need more for an emergency you can contact me with a good reason and we can add to it" and then let her do whatever she wants with that much. I could fill an entire BWM thread with some of the poo poo she's gotten into up to but the stories end up intermingling too much with my own finances and I'm not willing to divulge that much info here.
