    It appears to be by invitation only, so you can't get one until they ask if you want one. I actually can't see any reason why someone wouldn't want one if they could.

    I never got an invitation but I managed to get one by using the link above. This was posted on another thread on this site. Someone copied and pasted the link from their invitation email.

    Fantastic! Just applied and it says my card should be with me by the 24th... I'll let you know when it arrives!

    Cheers!

    They do carry out a credit check though - even though its only pre-pay.

    Doubt it - but theres one on previous page.

    Think i got it off this site though (someone posted the link).

    Think they may have then removed it - as everyone claimed it was a fake. But i checked them out and confirmed it was a link to paypal's new partner prepay solutions/technologies.

    Was still shocked when card arrived though - never really believed it would work.

    After paypal have worked through chosen customers - they will no doubt open it up. Its great to get cash out within hours of it going in - especially with paypals record of freezing accounts before people can get their money out.
