    So you basically applied with no intentions of using it after? Great! So people like me who wanted one for my daughter rather than her having pocket money to lose, miss out so you can grab the chance of a free fiver? Im all for everyone getting a freebie, but things like this make me mad!

    Well I may use it after it depends if I like it...hence the promotion? They are trying to get people to try it and like it.... my point was I don't know whether I will ever use it again, and I hate sending documents off, and don't think it's worth it for this card. No need to get arsey with me just because you didn't get one. If your desperate for one for your daughter, as you seem so convinced it's a good idea, why don't you just buy one?

    This happened to a few people last time the offer was on the reason they asked for ID /proof was orange couldnt verify the cardholder lived at the address the card was being sent to.Are you on the electoral roll?

    I am... atleast I voted so I assumed as much lol not really sure why they want my ID... would I still get a card then even if I dont send it? It's confused me a little :o

    well if i have to go through the hassle of sending id i wont be bothering,i intend to use mine at the local shop then throwing it in the drawer never to be seen again,ive had these types of cards before and the prices they charge is ridiculous,im sure i aint the only one thatll be spending and then filing the card;)stop being bitter and move on you didnt get one so what.

    Yeah I recieved mine yesterday too, only took a short call from my Orange Mobile to 311 and I went through the automated system and registered my card, I am verified by Orange so my limit is £5000, I sent money from my bank account over to the Orange Cash Prepay card and It takes up to 3 business days to go through :D
    I'm going to use mine for contactless payments.
