I tried to transfer a Sim only to Tesco Mobile to be refused on two credit cards and a debit card for the princely sum of £7.50 a month. My credit rating is very good.
My daughter used her card for the transaction.
I got no joy from Customer Services and have sent two emails to the CEO with no response.

You do realise that this thread is 6 months old?
Your "credit rating" (as seen on your CRA report) is utterly meaningless and bears no resemblance to how a lender will assess you.
FWIW, I took out a SIM-only contract with Tesco Mobile about a year ago, paid by CC, with no issues whatsoever.

You'll need to use it to travel before the end of September 2025 – or risk losing it. Below we explain how to search for unused vouchers and how to use them.
