I could open a bank account, but I need the card immediately as I'll be hitting the road in two weeks, and I don't want to have to have someone moneygram me money every couple of days while I'm on the road.
Or are there prepaid credit cards that I can get immediately?
And can someone move this to Security for me? Sorry about that.

with the prepaid cards you get it right away. or you could even buy visa or master gift cards which you could use anywhere with the visa or master card logo and that you get right away. but i don't see why you are so scared to just have cash? just don't flash your money to people and no one would do anything to you.

Once upon a time people would buy traveler's checks for just this purpose.

Any simon mall can sell you a gift card with a visa logo, that will work any where visa is accepted.

In such times as ours however, when there is too much order, too much m management, too much programming and control, it becomes the duty of superior men and women and women to fling their favorite monkey wrenches into the machinery. To relieve the repression of the human spirit, they must sow doubt and disruption" "People do it every day, they talk to themselves ... they see themselves as they'd like to be, they don't have the courage you have, to just run with it."
