Prepaid 02 VISA cash manager card

hi everyone,

First prepaid card that i know doesnt charge for buying one or a transaction fee etc So it looks really good.

Does anyone have this ?? i might order one but apprently ive been hearing people have had top up problems, ie they cant seem to load any funds with their debit card. Is that true ?

    Whats the point?! Just use your bank account...why have a 'fake' credit card?
  • I was involved in the marketing of one of the UK Pre-Paid payment cards - to remain impartial I shall refrain from saying which one.

    These cards are invaluable to a huge sector of the UK market and have many uses.

    Many people want to "shop" online, but are restricted by their banking facility - i.e no debit card.

    Some cards are disposable, useable only once and give added security when shopping online from a shared network.

    Our research also told us a huge sector of the market want a Visa/Mastercard to take abroad without having to enter into an actual credit agreement.

    I could bang on....

    The £5 credit for the first £50 is a good deal if they are still doing it?
    I was going to ask if the card can be used abroad for 0% Foreign currency handling on transactions abroad.
