Prepaid Visa/Mastercard Advice Needed

I have been looking into these and I am still unsure as to where I might get the best deal, so if anyone has any information or recommendations then please let me know as I need one ASAP, (Bad credit stopped me getting one from a bank)

Thanks

    I have one of these, mine is breadcard. Its ok, tho their customer service is useless!!!! takes them forever to anser emails.
    Theres also been a few problems with the paypoints for all prepaid cards. They dont always go through. I did this once and didnt notice till i checked the receipt and it said void so had to go back and get them to do it again. They said there had been lots of probs with all prepaid cards and the pay point machine. They dont swipe very well and the machine often doesnt accept them. in the end they had to type in the card number instead of swiping.
    So always check your receipt to make sure that its gone thru!!!
    Aprt from that i find it really useful.
  • Breadcard is a maestro card and I need a visa/mastercard so what are the next best solution?

    The Cashplus mastercard seems to be well thought of in most posts I have read.
