    Only way I know is to ask someone you know who owns their own business to give you a request letter.... or if you have a relative that has one they can request another card in your name I believe ......... but I guess that would have to trust you 100% to pay your bill.....:T

    They ring the employer to speak to the person named on the card so unless someone is on the ball and willing to lie, you will get caught out anyway. They have really toughened up on the card issuing.

    unless you have your own business or a mate that already has a card, or a full time foster carer then no you cant

    having said that though a group of ( how do i put it ) gypsy travellers have cards at my local makro

    how do you leave Makro without paying? I have to pay on the check out before I leave - is there a way to pay later?
