pre pay credit cards topping up abroad

Hi
Im going to tenerife for a bit and want to take a pre pay credit / debit card with me, problem is I have no longer got a bank account, does anyone know of any other means of toping up the card in tenerife without a bank account or if there are any other options for me.

  • I've had a look around and cant find any alternatives unfortunately.

    Ive checked out western union who funnily enough have a prepaid card.. but like the other ones only seem to have the standard top up methods... I thought they might have allowed you to top the cards up in their offices abroad...

    good luck with the hunt anyway...

    Thank you for looking, hopefully I will find something, I know they do have a system similar to pay pal over there but not sure about cards. if I end up finding anything I will post on here, you never know I might get lucky.

    thanks again

    Hi

    Not sure if you have already found one. But I have a couple prepaid cards that you can top up without a bank account. Cashplus lets you top up in the post office and Tuxedo let you top up with cash in Barclays banks. Not sure about the other ones.

    Best of luck
