O2 Money Card - is authorised like visa debit or electron?

Toe-Jam

well bottom line really, who cares what it goes through as, as long as it works, if people are finding its working then everyones a winner. I don't use it much you have to load it with your debit card, which is a bit counter productive. I just use the debit card.

you can actually get a O2 load & go card that you can credit with cash through paypoint.

Hi, I have the new O2 money card, and since this is my first ever try at a prepaid card (due to the fact that all the other prepaid cards rip you off), is this card treated as a Visa Debit or a Visa Electron card. I know that the Electron card cannot be used at train stations, but can this card be used online, as i have always had switch/maestro? Also are there any more limitations to the o2 card that a normal visa debit card can do.

thanks

Hi. As
i read it there are two o2 money cards. 1: Load and Go, which is for people without a bank account, you can put money on these from a PayPoint and you can only spend the amount what you put on them. They are not credit cards. Use them online as a Visa Debit card,although not accepted by PayPal (yet). 2: Cash Manager, same as, except it is linked/verifiyed to your bank account. The next best prepay card i find is Quidity money card. (quidity.com) £5 yearly sub. Free to load at a Post Office, small transaction charge.

Ryanair now charge their extortionate fees for using an electron card. The only way to avoid them is with a prepaid MASTERCARD
