Do Vanilla Prepaid Mastercard/Visa Work as VCC? - NGwill - 11-02-2018
If a company (ex. Google) asks for a credit-card to put a temporary hold during an Advanced Exchange, can a prepaid MasterCard or Visa with <$100 work? Do these qualify as VCC's that can be widely used for holds?

A prepaid CC and VCC are both different.
Both work the same as any normal credit card, so If a lock Is placed on a given card/account, It will not affect another card.

Thanks for the reply
Just wanted to confirm that a prepaid CC would be accepted by companies like Dell/Google/etc. when they need to put a hold/lock for an advanced replacement.
I have seen other posts about people needing high quality VCC's and was curious why people do not use a prepaid CC if it works as well.

I can't speak for every entity, so the following Is a general statement.
If, for example, the merchant accepts Visa as the payment system, then a prepaid CC with the very same branded card should also be accepted.
