You are mistaken. That's not a recommendation.

Its easy enough to just top up at Phones4U, or at any convenience store with PayPoint. I think my Escape card is great.. but I'd never use my DC to top it up.

Not for me. I want to keep the card empty for safety, and before each purchase credit it with just the required amount. The Halifax VISA Electron card worked great and instantly this way... but no prepaid card I've found does.

By DC do you mean Direct Transfer??

I gave you the solution further up the thread.

Did you not read it or did you not believe me?

No £1 tickets available for ages, £1.50 is per transaction, so it makes no difference how many tickets you book on that transaction, it is still only £1.50.

Do you think these card companies provide this service for the love of it?

I am starting to think that you are just a troll.

Good point - thanks - but still it is not a solution to:

"Anyone know a fee-free card that avoids this problem?"

Something even worse than that.

If it wasn't for the need to provide balance to his seemingly sub intelligent posts about the Anywhere card, he would have been on my ignore list some time ago.
I think he just likes the attention. He'll slip into obscurity soon.

Get real, how on earth do you think any company is going to stay in business if they make no charge at all?
