Looking for one of those pre-paid debit cards that you can load money onto and then use. Want to use it mainly for online purchases. But I need one that I can pickup/purchase in store (and not need delivery or anything). Preferably one with low fees
Saw this thread but it's 3 years old: hotukdeals.com/tag…614 I was all ready to use a Pockit prepaid card because of its low fees but not sure if I can pickup instore.
Does anyone know any cards or retailers that do this?","comment":[{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/26972468","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"deleted709247"},"datePublished":"2015-12-30T15:52:19.000Z","text":"Seems a bit dodgy.. you basically want a card that's untraceable?

I can fill in forms or whatnot in store, just don't want it delivered to my address.
Also, I've seen the post office one but while I can apply in store it isn't delivered to the store from what I understand."},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/26972554","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"deleted1427794"},"datePublished":"2015-12-30T16:01:42.000Z","text":"

try morrisons they sell visa cards
I think those are gift cards so can't be topped up again. I'd have to buy another one for £25 or £50 instead of topping up whatever I need."},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/26972643","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"deleted709247"},"datePublished":"2015-12-30T16:10:16.000Z","text":"

Why is that? They reason they generally ALL get delivered to your registered address is to minimise the risk of Fraud.
You're still sounding exceptionally dodgy.."},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/26972674","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"deleted1427794"},"datePublished":"2015-12-30T16:14:01.000Z","text":"

I know that the Spark prepaid card does it and was hoping there would be alternatives"},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/26972739","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"deleted1427794"},"datePublished":"2015-12-30T16:20:40.000Z","text":"

I guess I'll have to yield. While I have you, have you experienced any issues with Pockit? And do they send you any correspondence to your address after the initial letter delivering your card. Like any flyers or anything?

Nope.. everything is online.. Nothing in the post apart from the card. Been with them for a year now. Plenty of emails if they have offers on cashback.. as you get 15% if you spend on M&S etc,, it changes every few weeks.
If I recall correctly, the card came in a plain envelope so probably someone at that address wont know what it is. Don't worry about post once you get the card"},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/26973051","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Iain"},"datePublished":"2015-12-30T16:50:06.000Z","text":"For online-only purchases you could use entropay which supply you with a virtual credit card"},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/26973255","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"deleted1427794"},"datePublished":"2015-12-30T17:08:04.000Z","text":"

For future reference, it was a bright yellow envelope
