Are there any supermarkets or stores that sell prepaid cards in the UK?

Hello everyone, this is my first post here today! I need prepaid cards to order something online. I'm 17 by the way so it would be more appropriate to buy with cash and in store. Thanks!

No. You'll need to apply online.

Being 17 shouldn't be a barrier to you having internet access.

Have a look here. https://www.moneysavingexpert.com/banking/cards-for-under-18s/

Not that I'm aware off , only prepaid cards for individual stores

Can I get one without involving my parents?

No , it's to stop under 18's getting access to age inappropriate web sites or products (like online betting or sex sites)

You will an adult to apply with you.

My parents are probably not going to do it. I don't need it for anything illegal, it's just for a Kickstarter videogame I want to support.

The Money Shop has the Cashplus card and Paypoint stores have Swirl and the Citizen card combined proof of age ID and prepaid card. But you won't get any of these over the counter: They are posted to your home address.

Lots of supermarkets sell pre-paid gift cards with a Mastercard logo that you can use online as a credit card.

Are there any supermarkets or stores that sell prepaid cards in the UK?
