great idea there, get a 'free' card...

So I tried to sign up. Went through the whole process.....then told I get told I need to use a card to load a tenner onto it before I get it which makes it...not free.

If you have to fork out cash before you get it, it no longer falls into the freebie category so this thread needs to be moved.

Oh and the only card I have is my visa debit bank card and I aint stupid enough to let anyone online get hold of that >.<
