Green Dot
MoneyPak Deposit Instructions
Green Dot Money Paks are my preferred
method of receiving deposits for appointments. MoneyPaks leave no paper trail, do not use a credit card, are
available everywhere, and are very simple to use.
All you have to do is go to your local Walmart, Walgreens, CVS, Rite Aid, Duane Reade, 7-Eleven or almost anywhere that sells gift cards. Pick up a Green Dot MoneyPak
(it is green and white, pictured below, and costs between $3.00 and $4.95). It does not have the Visa or MasterCard logo, make sure you buy the MoneyPak refill
and not a new credit card. Simply take the card to the cashier and tell them the amount that you would like to put on the card, pay cash, and you
will receive a receipt. Once this is done you either e-mail or text message the 13 or 14 digit activation code (on the back at most
places, or directly on the receipt at Walmart). I will confirm and we will be all set.
Many places now have the Money Paks behind the cashier or at the customer service desk (Walmart) so if you don't see them
out and you are in a participating chain just ask. At Duane Reade they have specific denominations such as $100, so if you purchase
at Duane Reade only a $100 deposit is required. At Walmart and most other places you can specify any amount.
Please Note:
If you are asked for any personal information or you see a Visa or MasterCard logo you are *not* purchasing the
correct product. Also some MoneyPaks have a scratch off area with the activation code underneath; please be careful not to smudge
the numbers when rubbing off the wax, as it can be problematic and time consuming to replace the MoneyPak if you can't read the numbers. It has to
be done via national customer service, not at the store where the purchase was made.
It is preferred that you only submit the requested deposit amount via this method. Do not pay for your session in full, except on the day of the appointment.
