Wow is that green dot? If so arent there fees to load the card?

Not according to the website. Only fee it looks like is the ATM fee for more than 1 ATM withdrawal.

AMEX should have come up with a credit builder card or even a secured card. This would have gotten them more customers. This one is a prepaid card that has no contribution whatsoever to someone's credit.

They go either prime cards or prepaid card. How about something in between?

I ordered one card online. Not sure when it would arrive.

Amex prepaids are pretty bad...Western Union prepaid is a better choice.

There are various ways to load the card.  If you use your AmEx card or bank account to load, there are no fees.  If you use a "Money Pak" then there is a fee included in the purchase price.  I think AmEx says they will even refund that fee.
