More and more often we make use of subscription services, which can be paid for either recurrently or only when needed. In the first case, we will associate a credit card, or even our bank account details, with our account. In the second case, instead, we will use cards to top up the account, from which the necessary amount will be withdrawn to pay the subscription. Today there are various dozens of such cards available, on Starselect you can find all the best ones, often at discounted prices.

How prepaid cards work

They are called prepaid cards, but also gift cards, since it is not necessary that the purchaser is also the user, and they are used to have cash available for your favorite internet service. There are cards available to top up your Google account, to buy phone apps, multimedia products, music, and so on. You can do the same with your iPhone, with the App Store gift card. Then there are cards to have funds available on your account linked to a console, like Playstation or Xbox, or to buy items and services within a game account, or even to watch TV programs streaming on Netflix. Whether it’s a subscription payment, recurring every month, or a one-time service purchase as needed, it doesn’t matter. Gift cards support any need. They represent the most convenient and simple solution to make online payments and periodic top-ups without using the data of our credit card or personal bank account. It’s also an ideal solution for managing the expenses of teenage children by keeping the spending amounts under control.

The payment method

To top up your gaming account, or your Google account, it is possible to use a prepaid card or cash, or a credit card. Not everyone likes to distribute their data by handing it over to a thousand different retailers. For this reason, gift cards are available online: a single site resells several, and we will give the data exclusively to this site, without having to repeat it multiple times. Furthermore, alternative payment methods can be used, such as electronic wallets. Gift cards can also be purchased by third parties to give as a gift to a grandchild who has been promoted or a friend who is having a birthday. If desired, they can also be bought at some physical stores, thus paying also with cash. Certainly, online purchase is the fastest: you don’t need to leave home and can do it even in the middle of the night, even on Christmas Day. To use the purchased card, you don’t have to wait for it to be shipped physically; once payment is completed, you get via email the code on the card, which can be used instantly to top up the associated account.

A last-minute gift for children and grandchildren on important occasions is always appreciated, as it grants them a small economic independence in managing daily expenses related to study and leisure and cultural activities, but it also allows parents to top up a certain amount, thus being able to monitor the expenses incurred by the youngsters.

The convenience of not linking a payment method to your account

Some companies, like Google, Blizzard, and Apple, allow their customers to link a payment method to their account. This allows renewing every subscription and making any purchase in minimal time. Unfortunately, having “unlimited” funds linked to your account is not always useful; rather, it often causes disproportionate expenses made without thinking. It is much better to top up the account periodically with a predetermined amount.

Today online payments are much safer than in past years, but having the ability to top up a gift card from time to time without overdoing the amounts, but ensuring you only have the desired amounts available each time reassures even the most skeptical, allowing them to make online purchases with full peace of mind.

Exactly because of all these countless advantages, in recent years we have witnessed an ever greater growth in the use of gift cards by Italians to make online purchases and periodic payments of various types of subscriptions.
