Using balance of Virtual prepaid Mastercard

lmh503

Hi, I got an £80 virtual prepaid Mastercard when I signed up to Talk talk recently. After a couple of purchases, I now have £11 left and I am wondering how to use it up. I had hoped to transfer the balance to my normal credit card/bank account/PayPal account, but this doesn't seem possible. Is there any other way of releasing the remaining balance? Or do I just have to buy things that add up to that exact total? I want to use it for things I would have bought anyway, don't want to buy something just for the sake of using up the balance. Any ideas?

There was a post a while back and they ended up making a payment to their electricity supplier.

I already feel like my direct debit is too high after being hiked recently..rather not give them more money if I can help it! 😆

You wouldn't be giving them anything, you'd be reducing the amount you owe them.
If you don't like that, topping up your Amazon gift card balance is the usual suggestion.

I would also try to top up my Revolut with it.

Thanks for the suggestions guys, in the end I bought myself a Sainsbury's e-gift card as you can load any amount. I believe the 25% off 6 bottles of wine offer is coming soon, so I will put towards that.
