Has anyone used these to pay in America?
Hi,
I'm thinking about getting a pre-paid credit card for my holiday to America, has anyone used these in the USA? were they accepted. I'm thinking about getting a Quidity Maestro. Thanks |

I have never used one, but as long as it has a VISA or Mastercard logo then I can see no reason why it wouldn't be accepted.
if you are loading it up in Sterling then I'd confirm what exchange rate/ fees you would be charged. |

Yes they are accepted everywhere and can also be used in lots of cash machines (but not every bank).
The down side is that you are charged to make a cash withdrawl, and that you have no way of knowing how much is left on the card unless you tot things up very carefull every day. I think you can phone them up for a balance or go online but that is not always convenient.

We always use the Amex tcc card and we wouldn't be without it now. We take a bit of cash so we don't draw cash on it but I don't think it would be a problem. It's no hassle just tot up the receipts quickly each day (scary though ! ) to keep a check on the balance. DH nis the accountant but I always have to manage the bills on holiday - guess he wants a break from the sums! In Target they put the balance on your receipt as well.
