    There is also a £4.99 replacement charge with this card payable every year. The other one I found is the extremeCred card which you can get £1 from Rpoints for opening. Charges are:

    Cost - £8.95
    Replacement - £3.99
    Foreign Transaction Fee 2%
    ATM Cash Withdrawal Fee £1.00
    Customer Service telephone enquiries Lo-call rate

    There is also a free to top-up - 70p for any amount at the Post Office and different fees for internet/paypoint top-ups.

  • Its a good idea to put some away. I put at least sixty on every month now. I was paying that anyway towards credit card. I also feel as its on the card and its my own money i am spending it makes me think twice. I know its real money this time. I had two credit cards. So the money i paid on second card is now going towards reducing my debts. The pre pay card is now for emegencies. And when i am debt free anything i need or want will come out of that.

    OK I used the card in Amsterdam, and it turned out really cheap!

    20p a transaction.
