PAYG Credit Cards

Hi can anyone recommend the best payg Credit Card.
I saw the one advertised in the Sun newspaper at the weekend and was wondering if it was any good.

  • hi i have one of these a virgin pre pay and it great i use it to buy stuff on line also there is no monthy fee with this one
  • angeleyes, if you dont mind me asking, whats the reason for wanting a prepaid card?

    i ask because the things can be very expensive to run - most charge £5 to £10 to buy the thing, then another £5 to £10 annual fee, plus £1 or so every time you put money on to it, and then 25p or thereabouts each time you actually spend something!

    Unless youre buying online from somewhere that will ONLY take a Mastercard, youre probably better off opening a basic bank account somewhere like Halifax that will give you a Visa Electron card, and using that.
