Pre-paid Debit Card

Hi All,
Apologies if this is in the wrong place...
I am currently awaiting my IVA meeting to take place in 10 days. Trying to stay calm about it.
I am looking forward to getting it going so I finally feel like I am on the road to financial recovery, with a tough lesson learned.
Because of the impending IVA, I have got a new basic cash only account with Nationwide. I am unlikely to get a debit card with them, so was looking into pre-paid debit cards. Does anyone have any experience of these? Or recommendations? I am a bit put off by the charges but think I will need one, particularly with Christmas coming up, and also things in future such as booking hotels, those occasions when you just forget to withdraw cash etc.
Thanks in advance.

In case anyone else is looking for a pre-paid card, I ended up going for an Escape card. The O2 card did look better, but I am not an O2 customer.0

I have a Virgin card and have had no problems using it here or abroad. Fees are a pain but I recouped some by discounts on insurance/tv & internet bundle etc
Have a look at a comparison site like Money Supermarket, that should help.0 -
