I came across this promotion for Nationwide Visa Buxx Prepaid Card few days back but wanted to test it out before I recommend to anyone else. With this promotion, you can get a $50 bonus when you sign up for a new card and is a great way to meet your spending requirements without actually spending any money at all.
Anyways I Opended/funded my account on 8/9. Few days later I received the card and activated the same. I received my bonus yesterday i.e. on 8/27 so as you can see you will need to be patient.

American Express Prepaid Card
Offer ends August 31, 2012. Both New and Existing card members are eligible. This is same deal that they had in June – See here. Back in June I ordered three cards, loaded $200 on each of them and within 15 days, I received three $25 American Express Gift Cards – see the picture below. I am going to order couple more of these for myself.
There is NO credit checks whatsoever. Also there are NO fees associated with the card (see the complete FAQ on AMEX website here) and you can spend the money like cash i.e. wherever American Express Cards are accepted.

Even if you have had a Prepaid American Express earlier, you are still eligible for the $25 gift card bonus if you order a New Prepaid Card and load $200 or more at the time of order – that’s a nice 12.5% return on your deposit.
T&C’s state that the offer is valid for all New Card orders with a Single $200 load, including additional/supplemental accounts associated with an existing Card purchaser’s account. So the Existing Card Holders must order a NEW card to receive the gift card. Reloading money on the old card will not work.
Terms and Conditions put the limit to only one $25 Gift Card Per New Card user named on a Card. So you could order one for yourself and another for your spouse for a total of two cards. If you have additional members in your household, you could potentially get more.

You even get one Free ATM withdrawal per month (up to $400 per day) if you can find an ATM that doesn’t charge a fee on their end i.e. Amex will not charge any fees, but the ATM might charge a fee . WAWA is one such chain of convenience store/gas stations on the East Coast which doesn’t charge any fees for withdrawals from their ATM machine.
American Express will charge $2 per withdrawal after the first free one.

American Express is offering a complimentary gift card of $25 after loading a $200 onto an existing or new AMEX Prepaid Card. Offer ends June 30, 2012. Both New and Existing card members are eligible.
Spend like cash without any credit checks or fees (see the FAQ on AMEX website here). Even if you have had a AMEX Prepaid Card before i.e. before May 31, you are still eligible for the $25 gift card bonus if you reload your card with $200 or more – that’s a nice 12.5% return on your deposit.
AMEX Prepaid Card is an excellent way to manage your budget and put spending limits in place because unlike a credit card you can’t spend what you don’t have. This is also a fantastic way for you to use with your kids in college or even high school. You can simply transfer any amount that you want them to have directly to the card. And the best thing is that all of this can be done online.
I also like using the card for online purchases and knowing that if I were to fall victim to identity theft the thieves won’t have access to my entire line of credit. I could really see some people using this card almost exclusively for their online purchases and also when they go out of town on trips.
There are a few other really nice features as well. If your card gets lost or stolen you have purchase protection and your money will be reimbursed for up to 90 days. You also get roadside assistance and best of all there are NO fees!
The only thing to keep in mind is that the entire process of ordering the card, linking it to an account and transferring funds over to it can take between 1-2 business weeks so if you know that you’ll need the card for something like an upcoming trip or event don’t wait until the last minute. Start the process as soon as possible by going here.
Below are some of the benefits of using the American Express Prepaid card from their website.
No overspending, no overdraft fees
It’s prepaid, so you can only spend what’s preloaded on the Card. That means there’s no risk of overdraft fees or impacting your credit history.
Protection if the Card is lost or stolen
Feel safe knowing that if the Card is lost or stolen you won’t be responsible for fraudulent charges and American Express will replace the funds.
It’s easy to manage the Card online
With an online account, you can check your balance, view transaction history, add funds to the Card, set up automatic reloads and sign up for alerts.
Get up to three Cards
You can order up to three Cards, and give them to the people you want or keep it for yourself. This way you have the freedom to manage your own spending or use it to provide money to the other people in your life.
World-class 24-hour Customer Service
The AMEX Prepaid Card comes with world-class Customer Service. Simply call them anytime, 24 hours a day at 1-866-207-7970.
As mentioned above, If an eligible item purchased with the Card is accidentally damaged, or is stolen, Purchase Protection can reimburse you—up to 90 days from the date of purchase.
American Express Selects
As an AMEX Prepaid Cardmember, you have access to hundreds of discounts and special offers. Just log into your account to access American Express Selects.
Roadside Assistance
In the event of car trouble, you have access to Roadside Assistance. Just call them and they will provide help.
Bank Account
Simply enter your account information online to reload whenever you choose, but note, for your protection, it will take 3-5 business days to verify and load the funds.
Cash
You can also purchase a MoneyPak at a local retailer for up to $500—they’re available at over 50,000 locations—and then you can add the funds online or by phone.
Limited time offer: add cash to the American Express Prepaid Card with a MoneyPak and American Express will refund the purchase price of the first MoneyPak you use to load the American Express Prepaid Card. 7
The AMEX Prepaid Card has NO recurring fees. Unlike many other prepaid cards, you keep more of your money in your wallet—where it belongs.
