Paying fees at medical & embassy

[JustJ 0]

My husband has no bank account or credit card, and sadly, we neglected to put him on my accounts before he left the US. He pays for everything in cash.

I was wondering if anyone has ever tried those credit cards you can buy and refill from Walmart. They make a student edition, which means that the US Citizen could reload them from here, and our spouses could use them in their home countries. The paperwork says that they are valid anyplace credit cards or debit cards are accepted. I think it costs $3 a month to have the card, and of course, there ATM fees for withdrawals, but it seems like maybe this would be a good way to pay the fees without having to carry cash?

Anybody tried it?

I do believe the medical has to be paid in USD cash.

medical is paid in local currency. in this case euros. I had my medical last week and it cost 350euro and can be paid with cash or credit card

How does someone survive without having a bank account?
