in Credit cards
Hi,
I have had a look and cant find what im looking for. What pre paid card is best? Is Cashplus a good one? It says free for 3 months but then cant find how much you get charged after that.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

    Try an Orange Cash card. Free so long as you stick £15 on it in an Orange shop, no monthly fees, and free to load in store or by BACS.

    Cashplus sucks because they charge a monthly fee, and a cost to buy it, and a charge each time you use it I believe too.

    But then again, why do you need a card? Couldn't you open a basic bank account with a debit card, somewhere like Barclays? Or just use cash?

    It's not a credit card and it does not function as a credit card.

    Well it does technically function as a credit card - if you have money on it.

    It's effectively a debit card where the 'bank account' it is linked to is whatever cash you have put on it.

    No it doesn't. Explain yourself.
