    Still no luck for me though.

    I think patience is the key to get an Easycash account.

    You cant use a gift card to buy flights unfortunately as it is not linked to any address and may not even have a CVV on the back of it. It is purely for spending in person in a store.

  • hi

    my mate just got an electron with a cashminder account at the co-operative bank, he wanted it for booking flights to avoid the charges.

    -Web
    Sense is not common.
  • We book quite a lot of flights online so a one of these Halifax accounts sound okay to get the card.

    Will I have to have money going into the account from wages or would I just be able to pay in a lump sum and keep topping it up as I have another current account with another bank that wages go into?

    I have a credit card and savings account with the Halifax.

    You have to put a space between the area code and the phone number. Hope this helps.
