I wanted to charge something for $11 dollars while traveling. I purchased a green dot for $20 and immediately charged the item totaling $17 with tax which was rejected again and again. I finally contacted green dot to be told I was charged a monthly fee of $8 upfront! What! They refunded it on a onetime basis - however the monthly charge of 7.95 comes out on the 27th of each month #becareful #reviewalways
