I have a prepaid virtual credit card with £10 on it that I got for doing some surveys online.

How on earth do I use it??

Amazon won't let you use it as a partial payment when paying with another card, and Paypal don't like it either, so that rules eBay purchases out.

Where or how can I spend this thing?? I normally opt for an Amazon voucher but thought this would give me more flexibility. What was I thinking???

Does anyone know of any easy options where I can make up the extra cost with a debit card?

Would've = Would HAVE (not 'of')

No, I am not perfect, but yes I do judge people on their use of basic English language. If you didn't know the above, then learn it! (If English is your second language, then you are forgiven!)

    As with virtual cards in for example Neteller, Revolut and Soldo you don't get a plastic card but you get all the details; card number, name on card, expiry date and CVV. You use it online.

    I had a few of these a while ago. I used them as part payment towards a catalogue account.

    Could you use it as part payment towards a credit card bill?

    Tried that, but their postage is really high for small items, so it kept taking it over £10!

    Perhaps I'll try boots online or similar and collect from a store avoid the postage!

    Thanks for the suggestions!

    Use it to load your PayPal account? You can then use it as part payment or withdraw to your bank account.
