The American Express Serve Cash Back Prepaid Card attempts to bridge the gap between credit cards and prepaid cards, offering protections and rewards typically reserved for credit cards.

This card earns 1% cash back for every purchase you make, a pretty rare find on prepaid or debit cards. You’ll get Purchase Protection and Fraud Protection, also perks that you wouldn’t normally find on a card like this.

The card costs up to $3.95 at retail stores, but you can apply for free when you open an account online. You’ll have to pay a fee if you want to deposit cash to fund your account, but direct deposits and bank transfers are free. There’s a $0.75 fee for ATM declines, a 2.7% foreign transaction fee, and a $7.95 monthly fee.
