Welcome to the world, post September 11 a world where the terrorists took many things from us, including the ability to easily find anonymous prepaid credit cards. Back in the day, X-Men used to be able to get a prepaid credit card without even supplying your real name. Nowadays, it's hard to find one that doesn't require a social 1954 Dan-Dee baseball cards number. We have Captain America laws to thank for this laws that are supposed to keep us safe from terrorists (but somehow affect our own freedoms at the same time). If you're wondering how to get access to truly anonymous prepaid credit cards, here are some things to keep in mind.

Why Would Someone Want Anonymous Prepaid Credit Cards?

Before we go into the "hows" Iron Man 1 anonymous prepaid credit cards, let's discuss the "whys" of the matter. Some believe that only those with something to hide would want one to begin with. This couldn't be further from the truth.

Whenever you make a purchase with a credit card, your spending habits are tracked. Every movie you rent, every medication you buy it's all there on display in some database somewhere. Do you really want Uncle Sam knowing what you eat for dinner, where you shop, what movies you watch and what you buy when you go to the mall?

Alas, there is often a legitimate need for anonymous prepaid credit cards and privacy is one of them. Some of us just aren't comfortable with the fact that every non-cash purchase we make can be tracked. It's not that we're doing anything wrong it's just that it's no one else's business.

Of course, paying for everything with cash isn't always an option. Ever try buying something online with cash? Tell me how it goes for you. Sometimes the only solution to privacy woes is an anonymous prepaid credit card.

They Are Out There

If financial institutions are requiring names, addresses and social security numbers for prepaid credit cards, is "anonymous" a thing of the past? Not necessarily.

You can indeed find anonymous prepaid credit cards. They're just not wrapped up the same anymore. Companies like Visa and American Express now offer gift cards that work much the same way that prepaid credit cards do, but you don't have to provide personal information to buy or use them.

That being said, it's important to note that some prepaid gift cards are now requiring you to register them with a social security number. How do you get around this? Know which ones don't require this information. The American Express gift card is one of them. So is the Vanilla Visa gift card.

The Reload Issue

Some of these gift cards are re-loadable and some are not. Sometimes it depends on where you purchase them. If you want to use these as anonymous prepaid credit cards and don't want to keep changing your credit card number each time the balance runs out, make sure you get one with a re-load option.

Don't give up hope yet, my privacy-conscious friends. While getting anonymous prepaid credit cards isn't as easy as it used to be, it can still be done.

Are your kids bored and in need Batman something to occupy them, especially during the long school holidays? Sure you could chase them off to their room, but better still, why not show them how they can have great fun, while being educated and stimulated at the same time? Children's educational activities do not have to be boring. What you need is something that's fun but educational too as this has been proved to produce highly intelligent kids.

Here are a couple of ideas to start off with.

Let's get them to make their own jigsaw puzzle. All you need are some old greeting cards, or sheets of blank card, some coloring pens, paints and some scissors. 1954 Dan-Dee baseball cards using the old greeting cards, you can simply cut the greeting card into shapes; larger pieces for younger children, smaller pieces for older children. If using blank card, then let the children draw or paint Tetris they choose on the card.

When they've finished, you can cut the card into shapes as before. Now the pieces can be jumbled up and they can try to complete the original picture correctly.

For an extra twist, add numbers to the back of the jigsaw pieces in the order which it should be assembled. The pieces can be jumbled up again, turned over, and the children can join the pieces in numerical sequence. A fun game has now become a learning game, and without them even knowing it, they have improved their numeracy skills.

Kids really enjoy making things in the run up to Christmas time. They can make things to sell, to raise that all-important cash to buy Christmas presents. Or maybe they want to make presents themselves, for a more personalized gift for a loved one.

One of the old favorites would be the calendar. This can be made quite easily by even the youngest of children.

You need an A4 piece of card, a calendar pad approx. 74mm x 46mm, sticky tape, pens, crayons, etc. The only other ingredient is some imagination. Children can draw anything they wish on the card; after all it is their creation. Encourage them to think about the person that the gift is being made for; could they draw that person, their house, their pet, etc?

Once the picture is complete, simply attach the calendar pad to the bottom of the masterpiece with sticky tape. There you have it; a personalized gift that can be used for the year, then put into a frame and hung on the wall forever after. Quite a simple idea, but study the pride on a child's face when they see what they have created.
