Photo 14 Jul 1 note The embarrassingly-named VISA BUXX card is a debit card for teenagers: parents get reports, control, etc. My daughter has one. My lectures about financial responsibility appear to have failed: yesterday she charged $23,148,855,308,184,500.00 at the drug store. That’s 2,000 times more than the national debt, which is a paltry 11 trillion. The ever-vigilant folks at VISA added a $20 “negative balance fee,” and have suspended the card. When I called, they said that there was a “system problem,” and that the “help desk was working on it.” via Consumerist - Unruly Teen Charges $23 Quadrillion At Drugstore - Visa buxx
