RE: Money Order
I had a similar issue with a money order. Mine was returned and a friend told me about the prepaid credit card too. It works great. Mine is visa and the account can be managed at Netspend.com . The sight will also tell you where the nearest refill station is. For me it's Vons Grociery store. The card cost like $10 when you first get it and there is a $5 charge each time you add money. I usually add about $200 at a time so $5 aint nothin.
I've had credit cards before and had troubles. This is the way to go in my oppinion.
