Post Office Prepaid Card

Options
A while ago I read a report on here saying it was possible to get a card from the post office that allows paying for things overseas without having to pay transaction charges, however when i went to the PO they said they no longer do this, is this true and what alternative is there?

I do a lot of domain business and need to pay by card to American companies, and the £2.50 each time is killing me lol

Any ideas?

    The PO website says the card is currently not available to new customers

    There are probably dozens (slight exaggeration maybe) of prepaid cards available. Caxton Fx and FairFx have the best name. One is better than the other for purchases - can't remember which, so I'll let you do your own research.
