Order the card with a £10 topup. The card itself costs £4.95 which they take out of the initial £10 leaving £5.05 balance. (All prepaid cards cost - some charge £10!)
www.kalixa.com

However go through TopCashback and you get £9 cashback. Leaving you with £4.05 profit and a card you can use to book Ryanair flights with no booking fee! :)

Search for kalixa at TCB and use their link. Signup to TCB through here for a £2.50 bonus:

EDIT: Also no annual account charges and you can topup the card for free with is a bonus!

    I have been trying to get the kalixa card but every time I reach the payment page,it goes blank and there is no way to carry on. Costumer services are not useful at all, and still haven't been able to sort it out-hence we went for a different pre-paid mastercard.

    If you right click on the link then click Properties, you will see the true link. On the true link you'll see /ref/... etc after the website address, this is the referral part.

    I rarely check them, but remembered the OP had done it before! ;)

    Thanks - couldn't figure out at first how to do what you said as properties didn't come up as an option for me but tried it in IE instead of Chrome & it worked fine - I'll use this in future when I have queries over where a link is taking me - thank you

    Eh? The link is one I found and used for a £2.50 bonus as a new user. If you are already a member or you don't want a £2.50 bonus then signup with the link above, otherwise use the one in the OP.

    I had the same problem, but just clicked on "SELECT HERE IF YOUR ADDRESS IS NOT LISTED" and manually put in my address.

    It went through ok as well.

    I went for Kalixa, as it offers better exchange rates for Fair FX or Caxton, and it does not charge for purchase transactions.

    But the big plus is that as its in sterling, i can use it here once im back inthe uk unlike the currency cards.

    only downside is that it charges for ATM use.
