I've been my son's football team mom for the last 3 years (including this year). In the past, I had a co-team mom. By this point in the season, we have received a sizable sponsorship, in addition to the money the parents had paid for their spirit ware (roster shirts, hoodies, etc). So there was a need to open a bank account. We did a joint account and closed the accounts at the end of the season.
This year, as of now we have received no sponsorships. All I have is money for the spirit ware and other items that will be taken care of in one transaction pretty much. I also don't have a co-team mom (I can ask one of the moms should I need to). I have been told by one person they will be good for $500 on Friday. If that is the case, then that will cover one thing (actually short of it) that we'd like to do for the boys.
So all I really have is the spirit ware money. I don't see a point in opening an account for essentially a one time transaction. But I also don't want to funnel this through my personal account.
My thought was to get a pre-paid Visa. Would this be the better solution? Do banks actually issue these or are they only found at places like grocery stores, Target, etc?
