Pre-paid Credit Cards

Has anybody got one of these cards?

I've just got one for hubby. Apparently what you do is pay a £16 fee and then add money to the card as and when. To add money to the card is free and you use it just like any other Credit Card. It's being issued by MasterCard. I thought it would be a good idea for hubby cos then he can add money to it and use whilst he's abroad, instead of me sorting it out all the time

Sorry Nae, I have no experience of them but they do sound like a good idea

I've heard of them (particularly for travelling) but not seen or used.
It's a really good idea - less fiddly than travellers cheques and I think you get a degree of security too .... i.e. if it's lost or stolen you can report it and stop it

We used one when we went to Portgual, very easy to use, and I would use it again.

Sounds great especially when on holiday, where did you sign up Nae??? would be good for my Mom I think no carrying cash or the risk of loosing loads.
