    Hi, I am from the UK and I am trying to find a website that will give me a US Prepaid Debit Card.

    The reason for this is I like to watch a show that is exclusive to Peacock in the USA, and the Peacock website will only allow a card payment that is from the US.

    I used to use US Unlocked but they are telling me people in the UK cannot currently load funds on their site. I see there are lots of sites out there, but I am not very clued in on what I need to do.

    Any assistance will be much appreciated.
    What OS are you using?

    Subscribe to Max for a similar reason but have a different way of paying for it... Setup a US AppleID, buy Apple Voucher from Amazon US, add voucher to US AppleID and then subscribe to Max via Apple. Watch at home using VPN in UK. 

    Assuming you are using a VPN to fool Peacock into thinking you are located in the USA to stream their content, could you not point your VPN at one of the countries that US Unlocked do allow to load to their virtual cards?
    They normally want a payment card issued from the US, so whilst VPN tricks them into thinking you are overseas they first 4 numbers of your card tell them its UK issued, hence my method of using gift vouchers
  • Peacock appear to have accepted my Revolut virtual card, I'll find out for sure when my payment goes out next week.

    I do appreciate the tip though, it's always good to have alternative solutions. Someone has probably cracked down on US Unlocked
