My local council don't take it for council tax payments either! To solve that problem, I have a prepaid Mastercard from Cashplus. There are several prepaid cards out there but I chose cashplus. If you want more information look at their website https://www.mycashplus.co.uk. I try and keep it topped up with some money for emergencies and haven't found anywhere that doesn't take it.

Yes 5YP, I have an application ready to take to the post office to activate, but I can't quite bring myself to part with the £15 it's going to cost me to get it up and running!
I'm quite amazed with myself really, pre-BR i'd have not thought twice about it, but now it's coming out of my carefully planned budget I just cannot do it
That's a real bummer the council not taking it, luckily mine does.Accept your past without regret, handle your present with confidence and face your future without fear0 -
Hi
Slightly off what you asked, when you use the Co-op's Electron card, write down what you have spent, as the Co-op bank are a bit slow updating on-line banking! That was my only niggle with the Cashminder account:eek:

I know what you mean about parting with the money, I did mine a few months pre BR.
