Best place to get one . What are my options ?

i don't think there are many around now..
Mastercard credit cards are readily available.
and Visa debit cards aplenty..
but not many current accounts come with a Maestro (Mastercard debit) card nowadays:think:

Yorkshire bank, they do one on their basic and currents if you score too low for a debit mastercard.

they also used do a prepaid card with a silly fee. they might still do it.

...which does make me wonder why polford wants one, too:think:

Wishes he's back in 2006 and it's boom time. Maybe he's off to habitat to buy candles or Woolworths to buy a Plasma TV

Otherwise it could be that germany's main card is maestro (I think)

I think Clydesdale (same group as Yorkshire) only offer Maestro cards with current accounts.

These days Maestro and Debit MasterCard are different things.

Maestro is king if you pay for flight tickets and a few things. I have master and visa. Would be handy to not pay a FEE for using visa or mastercard. Would have saved me big bucks already . Never though I would want one but now certain websites charge huge fee's for the cards I do have.

What websites have you found that charge no fee for a Maestro card but do for a Visa Debit card?

Maestro used to be the only card for free uploading Skrill (former Moneybookers) e-wallet, but this seems to have changed recently. All card uploads are chargeable now.
