fastest prepay card to top up

korky69

i've got an eclipse prepay card which i usually use for booking flights, but takes 2 working days to credit.

i saw a flight saturday evening, topped up what was needed and lo and behold the just flights gone up £24 and i've still got to wait until wednesday to use it,
been as well off just paying the 3% at our local shop with hindsight.

anyway, for future bookings, are there any prepay mastercards that let you top up via debit card that loads up instant?
i have a prepay visa for my sons xbox that loads up instant, but the flight company doesn't accept it

Apparently, the neteller prepaid MasterCard tops up instantly (so says their website).

I have one for Ryanair, although I have yet to use it, so can't confirm for definite, but it's free to get the card (I didn't even have to load a deposit), so might be worth a look.

Cashplus tops up instantly (within a minute or two anyway) at a shop, and within 10 hours if you transfer money from a faster payments enabled bank account, if that helps.

thanks to you both, will check them out, sods law is that the money has just appeared in the account, 6 hours ago and i'd be laughing!

Yeah Neteller is instant and free with debit card.

the Orange one that I failed to get this morning (server error 500 sigh) via here - does it top up straight away - and online? Any issues using it with both £s and euros?
I do worry that these pre-pay cards used just for Ryanair or Easyjet have no payment protection

Why do you need payment protection with them? Do you think they will go bust?
