I just Recently moved and the billing address is different on the credit card and i can have the meds shipped to a different location than before, do you think they would noticem or think that are two people with the same name that live in my county. Also, has anyone tried using pre-paid credit cards to get by the 90 day rule? any feedback would be great, thanks.

That could possibly work... if you think about it, you can put any name or address on your pre-paid credit card, and you can then use your home shipping address.... That's a thinker.... cause who's to say what your address is when you purchase any pre-paid credit card..
Now I've never purchased a pre-paid credit card so I don't know the requirements of buyin one.
I wonder if anyone has tried that?
Good Question!!!

I have certainly thought about it at onetime when I was in a very difficult bind. I have never used a pre-paid credit card, But if they don't ask any questions, I will give it a try. Can anyone give any info on purchasing a pre-paid CC ?
Thanxs

well what if you had a script and your wife had a script from the same OP and you paid with the same CC (yours)
It's probably fine as long as the card works.

I worked in the cc industry before and electronic merhants pass the numeric data (Card #, exp. Date, CV code (sometimes), numeric street address, zip (sometimes)) and not name.
In fact, my cat sometimes uses my card - strictly for cat nip from petco.com though and NEVER for anything else!

I checked out a prepaid CC, and I believe part of the form you fill out does require ID.

FYI - I just purchased a pre-paid card yesterday - two of them actually. You CAN put what name you want on it, as one of mine was a gift for my neice. As for using the same cc for two members of one household, my spouse and I have done this successfully.
I've actually seen the advertisement on one of the pre-paid sites in which it states that one option is to purchase them as gifts. When you call in to activate the card, the questions are minimal.
Since my records are finally on the way to being in my hands, yet I was met with a true emergency this past week, I bought a pre-paid using my maiden name with one of the 90-day OPs which I had not used since August, ordered only 30 to get me through until I can get established with NWW.
Hope this helps. I personally can't say enough about the pre-paid cards. Also, for any of you who have discovered multiple billings on your cc, simply put the amount of your purchase on the pre-paid and no worries about that either.

I purchased mine at Rite Aid but if you go to the pre-paid MC site, there is an option to enter your zip code and locate the outlet nearest you. When you purchase the card at Rite Aid or wherever, you don't show ID, they simply scan it and take your money as if you were buying a candy bar. When you get home, you must go to the site listed on the paper card you bought, agree to the User Agreement, then call the toll-free number for acivation. This takes only minutes. You can then purchase online immediately. In a few days, you will receive the actual plastic card in the mail, and can use that just like a regular cc at stores, etc. The only diff is that your spending limit is whatever you go to the outlet you purchased from and "load" onto the card. It will cost you 9.95 initially to purchase the card, plus whatever amount you want to put on the card to spend, then 4.95 each time you go back and add funds to it.
One member also made a very helpful post about the Rush prepaid cc here, if you do a search you may find one that better suits your needs. I just personally prefer the MC.

I use a National City Bank Visa Gift Card, You do not have to show Id. The cost is $2.95. The card is not refuelable just purchase a new one when that one is done. www.nationalcity.com/giftcard there is a link there that will take you to the site and from there a link that will show you the banks in your area.

Another option that I have used - for anyone with Paypal - is the Paypal Visa. If you have a Paypal account, you can get the PP Visa for free and they also mail you the plastic. Your spending limit is your Paypal balance and I have used this for other non-OP purchases. I am a bit nervous about that one, as I am not sure that, in the event of being double-billed, it wouldn't come out of your bank account. Anyone with more experience may be able to shed more light on that. I don't know about most of you, but I certainly cannot afford a double-charge coming out of my bank acct.
