I added the prepaid Mastercard to Paypal account 1, sent a money request from Paypal account 2, paid the money request from Paypal account 1 using the Mastercard.

Hope that makes sense!

That's odd, that's how I always do it too and never pay a fee.

Not sure if it's because Paypal account 1 is a Premier type account? Either that or I did something wrong but I'm not sure what, I didn't notice any different types of money requests or payment options. I'll keep having a look around Paypal's options etc just in case I missed something.

The initial decline happened within a few minutes but once I'd corrected the expiry date I requested the top again and that's still processing, it's been well over an hour now.

Just tried the 2 Paypal accounts method - the money has transferred but with a fee of £0.54. I thought transferring funds between 2 Paypal accounts was free? May be I did something wrong?

After over 3 hours, the top up has been applied (£10.00), hoorah!

Now, what to do with my remaining 11 prepaid Mastercards :think: I would prefer Amazon at the moment as I have various purchases to make but I don't want to cause an issue with my Amazon account, maybe I'm worrying too much!

Glad that worked. I would be lost without a working Amazon account.

So would I, I've ordered many items from them and for years totally paid for by my giftcard balance funded from Swagbucks and various survey panels.

......................15 days ago I added a mastercard to my payment options, somehow I managed to put the year as 2021 not 2020. So payment declined that day, but no £ got deducted. Tried a top-up again today, declined again (twice) but nothing deducted and I realised my error and edited the card in payment options to put it right. Tried again and the top up has been accepted. I do hope this will work next time.

Thank you thisone for posting. I've just tried the same system and it worked for me. I didn't need to wait any length of time. As soon as I had the declined email, I went back to Amazon and changed the date to show the correct year and I then had the email to say it had credited the full £10 to my account.

Glad it worked. Thanks for the feedback on the wait.

It's strange how different people's experiences are with the Mastercards on Amazon, bearing in mind also the comments under the reward where it worked for a couple of other people.

I tried another Mastercard using the same system but the initial decline took approx 4.5 hours. When I saw the decline email the following day, I had to go through some kind authentication process with a one time password because I'd added a device or similar (I hadn't). When I accessed my account, I changed the expiry date but it then asked me to re-enter the card number and to "confirm" the card, thinking this might also mean the £1.00 authorisation fee, I gave up and deleted the card. It just doesn't seem to be working well for me

Looks like I'll have to use the Paypal method for my remaining Mastercards but with the charge that some others don't seem to get but I can't see how to avoid this.

I reckon it's a return to Amazon vouchers for me in future lol!
