I'm not trying to patronise or be impolite, but your post wasn't 100% accurate.

How can a question be inaccurate?

Can you not get these pre-paid credit card things where you can load money on?

Where did i state any facts or give any advice?

Gees I said that you can't get a pre-paid credit card because they don't exist, how does that cause offence?

I'm aware of that fact, but there's a difference between what a business will strictly accept as a credit card and whether or not it's loaded with actual 'credit' or not, isn't there? Hence my question.

You question was more of a statement that you wanted someone to confirm. I told you your statement was inaccurate.

No, I didn't make a statement, I asked a question. You see that question, followed by the question mark? They're called questions. You're just eager to show how knowledgeable you are, and that's ok, you're doing a great job.

Question, wanting someone to confirm.

And yes, that was patronising. But I'm not sure why you want to argue with me....

Unfortunately the words 'credit' and 'pre-paid' contradict each other, so no. A credit card means you have a credit facility. A pre-paid card means you are using your own money.

I just use the Post Office credit card for overseas spend and pay it off when the bill comes in. I wouldn't cut it up you should keep it for other overseas holidays.

Key benefits
Pay no fees: on any purchases you make overseas in a foreign currency, even when you’re shopping from home, online or over the phone
Pay no cash fee Cash Fee was formerly known as the Cash Advance Fee: when using your Credit Card to buy travel money at the Post Office
Pay 0% interest: on all your purchases for the first three months

Post Office® Credit Card is provided by Bank of Ireland UK

After misinterpreting the title, I'm relieved to find that the credit card is taking the owner with it.
I had visions of a frisky little credit card running off with a little suitcase as fast as its little legs could carry it.

Not really sure how you came to that conclusion, but I'm not really bothered.

I gave you the answer you were after, don't know why it got you into a tizz.
