Buy it at a USA shell.
Canadian prepaid cards probably won't work. I'm guessing... but probably won't work
I bought one in the USA.
Yes, Allflash, paying too much cause you not sure how much it will take and going back after for change is annoying. You can probably buy this prepaid card with a credit card if you want..... saves using cash as most do when they prepay.
swipe and use and think you can get a printout after to know how much is left on the card. I wrapped that printout around the card and back in my wallet

Also, if anyone banks at TD here you can set up a free TD USA bank account and get a US debit card.
Now, it does use your Canadian address so might not be good for gas and zip code they ask for but it is great for buying things.
You can transfer USD tot he account in a day for free as long as you are doing it for personal spending, not business.
I have a USA TD account in MD or somewhere in a NE state. it is a USA card, from TD USA think it is called TD North? mainly in NE USA
you just need to keep a min $125.00 account balance for no monthly charges.
It did take about 6-7 weeks to set up as they mail you stuff to sign........ but all fine now.I use it for cash withdrawals and shopping.
just another tip for some.

and this gas card was 5 years ago I bought..... but think you could buy smaller amounts too...... for when you get closer back to the border
Think i seen $20 and $100 ones.....
