Sounds like a form of a debit card to me.

Does it help your credit (I'm guessing no)?

no but you can get one to buy stuff online with no credit (or opening up a checking account to the internet) they are a little safer

Have you tried Capital One? I didn't have any credit but they offered me one (with a $300 limit of course).

As far as the prepaid credit cards, I have heard of them.....but I am not sure where do get them. Why not just use a debit card?

I need to get a credit card for my hosting site, I need a credit card to open merchant accounts and I already have a private account on paypal, they won't let you use the same credit card twice on two seperate accounts on paypal (which is relieving, to say the least, but also annoying in this case) so cheers for asking about this!

My first CC was a Capital One with a $300 limit as well.

Yeah, Capital One is great place to get credit going. It was my second one, and hy husbands first, and he had like no credit at all when he got it.
