  • Nice one, Will give it a go
  • Watch out - you'll have to load it with £5 to start, and even though the card is free for now, it'll automatically renew when it expires and charge you £4.95 for your next card.

    Ah right, so its not too bad then. I've just been looking at the PayPal website for the card and it says its not a debit or a credit card, but can be used anywhere that accepts Visa. Does anyone know if companies that normally charge a fee when you use a credit card to pay also charge a fee for these type of cards or do they operate like debit cards in that sense. Also, I haven't really investigated these type of cards much (but now considering one to stay in budget each month), are there any big disadvantages that I should be aware of before signing up?
  • Its normally free for purchases but will charge a fee for cash withdrawals
