Hello All

I have done a search on the forum and didnt come up with anything so I will ask

Which ones are good and how do you sign up anonymously ( without registering in your real name) but then you have to give your real name and addy to receive the card dont you?

Topping up - how does that work?

thanks in advance

with prepaid card you need to have an address that you can collect it from if not using your own address ie mums dads ect
basically they give you a reduced spending limit if they cant verify its you -  what this mean is you can only top it up and use it up to a certain amount around  1800 2000  after that you have to verify it  but this is not an issue if you dont top it up and just use it on line to secure hotel rooms ect   

i have cards in several names  -  they dont do a credit check on you untill you want to verify the card  which i never have done
the name that is on the card is irelevant  if you only plan to use it for booking on line then paying with regular card /cash on arrival at hotel

(chance are if you book in on line with your real name miss xxx and pay using the  credit card in different name you might get an eagle eye staff take the card off you if they think its stolen - hope that makes sense ) but if your just using the card to secure the booking then it dont matter 


with virgin and i think the mastercard you can buy a 360 paypoint voucher if you want to be a bit more undercover which you can get from any petrol station shop ect that takes paypoint you just ask for a 360 money voucher or something ( its dose tell you on the card that your applying for )
then you register on line and put the vocher number in on line to pay for it 
also you can pay using credit on phone as well on some card i think that the 360moneycard

 

Paris - wow! Girl you know all the tricks, thanks.  Just one thing though, dont hotels usually ask for your ID when you check in??

Nope. I think this happened to me in the US, but never in Britain.

as long as the name is booked is correct what credit  card name that you book it in dont matter 

The one i have is fine for booking hotels and on-line purchases but i am the only one that can load it, ideally i would like one that deposits can be loaded onto ?

if you dont pay upfront the usage charges likely to be very high 

I use 'prime' mastercard - cant remember how much I paid for it - not much though - just bought it over the counter in one of them offline shops - no ID/name/address required.  I use it to advertise on-line you can top it up at any shop that sells them (google nearest shop selling prime mastercards)

I struggled a little registering it on line but that's simply because I'm not good at all with computers otherwise very straightforward and easy to use - think I had to have it unlocked before using it.

Good luck.

Sound advice thanks ladies. Thanks
