THE IMAGE ABOVE IS A PAID ADVERTISEMENT

I'm coming over to visit my folks in Warwks in a couple of weeks and was wondering about getting a pre-paid visa card to use. In the past I've just used my USA issued cards but got shafted on exchange rate charges. Does anyone know if pre-paid cards are available and if so from where? I think a limit of a thousand quid should be enough since I'm staying with my folks.

1984 was supposed to be a warning, not an instruction manual

It worked with no problems when I was last in the States and I will be using it again when I go back later in the year. Have a look at their 'anywhere card' it might be suitable. http://www.fairfx.com/

+1 for Fairfx.com - I used one for booking flights on Ryan Air as they dont charge fees for PrePaid cards. Also useful for porn so wife dont see it on statements.
