Comment on Money Mart Titanium+ & BMO Prepaid Travel Card (Conclusion) by Gary Cameron

That doesn’t make a lot of sense to me either. Other cards I have had I could always walk into the bank and put down cash with no problems. I have a regular BMO account so I just transfer funds to the pre-paid card as needed.

I can’t complain about my Titanium plus card from Money Mart. I have my pension deposited to it monthly. A little steep at $ 15.00 per month, but the charges are tax deductable.

I don’t understand why it isn;t possible to walk in to a B of M and lay down cash and have the funds available immrdiatley on the Card. Dumb…

I have also read the horror stories from people who depended on this card while travelling and in foreign Countries only to have their money frozen or not go through.

What a nightmare!

Market Place needs to do a show on these crooks.

I am glad I found this blog. I am going to apply for a BMO prepaid MC right away then cancel my Titanium Visa card!!

I too needed a CREDIT to my visa card for $40.00 which was returned to me from a client I buy from on a regular basis.
Days went by and still no credit on my card so I call them up (they also have a $1.50 fee every time you call them I found out) and they said that the company did not fill out the proper paper work and FAX it in!

Wow! So I had to call the company and explain this! I sent them the form via email and they complied.

What a bunch of rigamarole! For MY money too!

Titanium Visa basically HOLDS ON TO OUR MONEY for 15 days!! What a farce!

And they charge us $7.50 a month for this crap? Plus other outrageous fee’s and horrible service. (on hold forever)

I am DONE with Titanium Visa as soon as I get my BMO mastercard!

Hello,

I signed up for the Titanium Visa card last week Saturday Oct 15, 2011. I paid $20 for the card. Reviewing their contract, it said I will be charged $15 every month even if the card is not being used however, you can save up to $10, 000.00 (Dumbest thing I have ever heard). Realizing quickly that these ppl are straight up thieves I went back the following Saturday to withdraw my cash only to find out these ppl already took the $15 monthly charge in less than one freaking week. Man I was soo mad,, i called them to give a proper lecture of some mixed up German language but they had me on hold too long i hung up. I DO NOT recommend this card AT ALL. My main reason for taking the card was i actually thought it would be a smart thing to have since i change my cheques there, so i could just deposit the money there without having to walk out with live cash. BIG MISTAKE. Cost me $36.50 for nothing.

I’ve had my pre paid card for a long time now. I’ve only used it through paypal for online purchases. And I’ve never once had a problem with it. Sorry to hear all the other problems in this thread.

It seems like you are discribing my own experience with this so-calledd visa card. I travelled to US, and stayed at two different hotels. They both put a hold of a certain amont on my titanium card. When I checked out of each hotel, a different charge was made against my card, and therefore the amount that was put on hold remain unavailable to me. I called the toll free # and spoke to an assistant who suggested that I should call the marchant to email or fax a release letter for funds that are legally mine. Otherwise the fund would remain on hold for 46 days. What an injustice. I got tired of the phoning and emailing around, and will cancel the card and go for a BMO mastercard.
