    Look at the post on prepaid credit cards on the main site - this should give you all the info you need.

    There are quite a few pre-paid Mastercard type options out there. Someone correct me if I am wrong but I am pretty sure that the pre-paid CC do not report to the credit agencies - so if this is important to you (trying to build positive history etc) do be aware of this.
