Electron Accepted

Options
I have a really bad credit rating!
Ok, now that's out of the way, I shall come to the point of my post.
I have recently applied for a COOPERATIVE bank CASHMINDER account for which I was accepted.
I received my Visa Electron card exactly 2 weeks after applying, not a bad turnaround I think.
I would like to create a post where other VISA ELECTRON users can post sites or shops where this card is accepted, with a view to it possibly becoming a 'sticky' if really popular.

I will start off with a few that I know of:-
Sainsburys
Tescos
Boots Online
Paypal
Rightcover travel insurance (£10.97 total for 2 ppl recently for a week trip to Italy!)

    Just one more thing, if you could specify if it is the website or the high street store that it is accepted at.

    Many thanks.

    Yes thats true.
    If you dont see the electron option on a website just select visa and mostly the payment is accepted.

    Tesco accept my electron in store, but if I say yes to cashback it declines even though the money is there in the account. Had this happen yesterday, yet when i went to the cash machine sure enough had plenty on my available balance and withdrew from the wall. Other than that I've used it everywhere, asda/woolies/wetherspoons pubs/home bargains/m&s/paypal/argos/choice catalogue... to name but a few.
