Boomerang Prepaid card (again)

Hi guys

I know it's be mentionned a few times, but I couldn't find an answer from a search to my question;

Does anyone have any idea what sort of rewards (ie what cashback, where and how much?) they give out? I've tried to access their rewards site but I need a username and password (??? Do I have to sign up first???) to see, and I don't really fancy shelling out £10 for a card where the cashback and the main selling points aren't really going to be used by me!!

    It also costs when you buy using the card. And when you take cash out of an ATM.

    I know this - It wasn't what I was asking! Sorry!

    I'm looking for anyone who knows exactly what rewards we're being offered - Because 'cashback' is all well and good, but not if it's stores I'm not going to use, you know?

    Whats the point in getting this card you may as well just use Quidco or another Cashback site. Its not like it gives you cashback for purchases made on the high street, its online only. Seems like a waste of money to me.

    One bonus is the card has a photo id and proof of age but not useful if it costs £5 and then aslo when you use it. The ad in the student mag doesn't mention any charges!! typical anyone know where the charges per use show on the site?

    will the photo ID/proof of age be widely accepted? lots of places only take the official prove it card (is that what it's called?! but hopefully you know what i mean!) or a photo drivers license.
