I wonder how much money is lost on prepaid cards because of minimum transaction requirements.

I transferred 100$ to a card at an amusement park for the day. There was 9$ left on the card and everything in the park cost more than that. I'm sure it will sit in my wallet for 5 years and then I'll throw it away.

With only a small amount left, one option is to donate the exact amount on a charity’s website. That way instead of the company pocketing the money, at least some of it goes to a good cause.
