    I tend to use it for subscription based services (where there is often a CPA in place) and some internet shopping.

    What's wrong with AA one? Why can't you reapply?

    Orange prepaid card was often mentioned here as cheap to run.
    However, personally I wouldn't pay even £1 for something that any of my credit cards can do for free.

    Just seeing what's around.

    I might well do (AA is £9.95 for 3 years, current one was FREE!!)

    Search for a promo code to waive some or all of the £6.95 cost of purchasing the card. Card has a four year expiry date.

    The best card for purchases in foreign currency too.
