which bank BC?

Grace O Malley

you can put as much money as you want on the card and spend as little as you want in any particular place or shop. You can spend as little as 5 dbs. With a normal credit card, it wouldn't be accepted for such a small amount of money

i know that now, lol...i wouldn't bother with one, to be honest...

Switch is linked to your current account isn't it?

This product is independent from your bank account

Madam Medusa

in saying that, would be good to have it to give to my helper instead of having to remember to get cash all the time...and for kids to have as a safety thing...

Other uses

On line purchses over the net without some one hacking your credit card,


If the banking network is down, which in AD on 26th Dec, it was, I couldn't spend any money in the shops, i could have used my pre paid card to buy as it doesn't need pre authorization

Grace O Malley

yes there you go and you get a detailed statement.

You can use it internationally as well!

MataHari

does it have a pin code though...it would be something to consider for the kids, but one of them has a habit of losing just about everything that isn't attached to his body...

Grace O Malley

you can opt for pin code if you want.

If they lose it, you call up and cancel just like your credit card

I think its a good idea, i would def get one for my boy, he is always losing money, pulls out of his pocket and drops a 50 at the same time

I honestly can't remember, I saw it a while back and thought what a good idea for teenagers, give them allowance on a card.
