Used it last Friday 8th Jan, and it worked fine, NO Charges.

Hi,

I just ordered my pre-paid MasterCard from Bread.

The Entropay one has a 4.95% load from a personal credit or debit card fee
So if you load the card for Ł250 you'll pay about Ł25 fees.

The Bread costs Ł7.5 and has a 2% transaction fee, so Ł250 worth of tickets would cost Ł5 (plus the registration fee) = Ł12.

Have a look around for the best deal. Lots of these cards have hidden fees.

I've yet to find out how mine's going to work. It's due to arrive within the next few days.

I'm a resident of Holland.

Can somebody from UK help me to apply for this card?

And do you have tips how to reload this card from Holland?

Hi Mic,

Bread run a check based on your passport info:



Basically they check the long number at the bottom of your first page.

I checked one other card and it looks like it's a requirement even for the pre-paid card providers to run security checks in the UK.

I'd recommend searching online. It's likely someone's already found the best deal in Holland.

If not, you may need to do a little bit of a research. Good luck!
