Disclaimer: I do not endorse the use of credit cards AT ALL! We do not even have one, nor have we our entire marriage (we had enough to pay off from me in college when we got married!).
The reason that I am posting this is that I was talking with a friend last week who has kids in college, this is what they use and why. They gave their kids a Green Dot one and have the ability to load it for them, they do this when the kids are traveling to and from school driving a long distance. I actually thought it was a good idea.
