Virtual Visa Debit cards - are they worth it?
Having been a member of Nielsen IQ for a long time, I have accrued quite a few points to convert. I have exchange points for Amazon vouchers in the past, but have noticed that you can also get a virtual visa debit card from them. This is shown as being acceptable at anywhere that accepts Visa debit cards.
Before I go ahead & get one, has anyone used them at all, & are there any downsides to using them? I've read that they have to be used within 6 months & I'd be looking at using it for online purchases only (I've seen it can be hard to use in store sometimes.)

Ive had them in the past. I wasn't keen. Online if you want someothing at £120 and you have a £100 card, this won't work. Or if you spent £89.99 of the £100, spending the balance of £10.01 is tricky too.

Quite easy to spend up the spare balance at the end, plenty of utility companies take credit card payments as an example.
