Electron Accepted

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!)
Regards
Mike

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.0 -
I had this card until recently when I got a visa debit, I used this ite to check who and where accepted the card.
