I do not know about Phillipines but in Europe it is possible. You first pay the money and then they give you the creditcard.

Visa and Mastercard sell prepaid credit cards. I don't know where in the Phils. they would sell them. I can tell you that malls, some grocery stores, and places where you can cash checks (other than banks) usually sell them in the U.S.You purchase the card for a given amount and the balance goes directly to the card. You can use these cards for online purchases, paying bills over the phone, and purchasing everyday items where Visa or Mastercard is accepted.

If you have a bank account with substantial balance, you apply for a DEBIT card which works similarly to to a credit card except that before you make purchases from the DEBIT card, you need to have sufficient balance in your bank account.

Though prepaid credit cards resemble debit credit cards a lot, the two are vastly different. When you use debit cards for any purchase, your shopping will be automatically debited from your bank account. On other hand, the purchases made with prepaid cards are deducted from the balance present on the card. The prepaid cards offer various benefits like: Interest-free purchases People with a bad credit history are eligible to apply for a credit card. The credit limit varies according to the balance available on the card.
