Bank account questions.

I really want a credit/debit card so I can buy woot shirts

Get some sort of pre-loaded card. Green Dot or something like that.

I never use my credit card to buy stuff online. If I wish to pay for something, I usually buy a Visa/Mastercard Gift card. Works like a normal Visa/Mastercard, just for a limited sum ($25, $50, $100).

Why??G__G

For obvious security risks. If my gift card gets hacked/stolen, worst case is that I will lose that $25 prepaid sum, not $1000 from my real Visa.
