Splash that Cash

Advantages: You'll never get into debt
Disadvantages: Limited use of sites

Splash Plastic I don’t like debt. Nobody does it’s true, but I have a real phobia about getting into debt. Hence, I have no credit cards. I cannot purchase anything online without using another persons card and giving them the money. All very inconvenient. That is until someone told me about splash plastic. What is it? Basically, it’s like a credit card, only you pre-pay (as you would with a pay as you go mobile phone) and then ...
...of other sites who accept splash plastic. It’s just a matter of shopping as you normally would and then clicking the splash plastic payment option when you’re done. How many sites can I shop at? Ok, it is limited but some the biggies are there and there are more being added all the time. The full list is as follows: Joe Browns Barry’s World CDWow Bloomsbury Bright Skies Attitude Clothing 101 CD Buy Handmade Jewellery ...

...he got...of course it was splash plastic. What IS Splash Plastic? ------------------------ Splash plastic is a UK pre-pay credit card, aimed to be used by teenagers (due to the 18 year old age restriction usually in effect for professional cards).

the pre-pay card

Advantages: free,easy to use, for anyone,after 10 pound you can put on any exact amount
Disadvantages: restricted to certain sites

...for you. The splash plastic card is pre-pay which means you can only spend the money on the card, you put the money on the card before hand and then do your shopping. The Splash Plastic card is good for the reasons that you cannot get in debt and you dont have to pay any extra money. So to get one of these cards all you have to do is go on the website www.splashplastic.com and signup, it tells you exactly the shops in your area were you can top-up ...
...websites were you can shop and you can check out your account online. To top up the card all you have to do is take the card and the money,(at least 10 pound and then its any amount even by penny) to a shop that has the logo (places like carphone warehouse) and they swipe the card and its on and then you can then by stuff of the net. Places were you can shop...well the website has plenty of links but here is some of the places...cd wow, blockbuster,thorntons,countrybookshop.co.uk ...

...Putting money onto your splash Plastic card is called Topping up - It's easy. All you have to do is the same as a pay as you go phone. You find a shop where they do electronic top ups - give them your card and the ammount of money you want to put into your account. Wait a while and then your money should be i your account.

...but please be aware that Splash Plastic doesn't fully exist anymore - it's now 360Money! ~ About ~ Splash Plastic allows you to apply for a card, like a Debit Card (except without a bank account) and then you can take it to a top-up shop that deals with/allows either PayPoint or PayZone transactions.

Reviews which might be of interest for "Splash Plastic"

When I'm 64

Advantages: good if you pay off your balance every month
Disadvantages: but does everybody do that?

MBNA was the first credit card that I got when I started working as a teacher. I thought I was a big cheese, and I was immediately given a credit limit of £1500 (this was in 1994). Over the years the card has had its uses, but there are a number of alarming issues that I feel should be pointed out to members of the general public before they sign up and splash the plastic: 1- Interest Rate - MBNA does not have the most expensive, but then again it does not have the lowest interest rate. 2- Minimum Payment - The minimum payment on MBNA cards is only 2% of the outstanding balance. You may feel that that is irrelevant to you, but if you are one of the millions of folk who do not pay their balances off in full, there can be a few problems down the line. MBNA are happy to up your credit limit from time to time. Before I got rid of it ...

Review of MBNA Silver Card

Virgin Prepaid Mastercard has arrived!

Advantages: Discounts on Virgin products, smart looking.
Disadvantages: More suitable for now and again use than regular shopping sprees due to transaction fees.

Prepaid Credit cards are a fairly new concept to the UK market, though a quick Google search will show that there are now several providers offering these cards. I wanted a card for online shopping but didn't want a traditional card that would get me into all sorts of financial trouble. The Virgin Money Prepaid Mastercard is provided by 360 Money - the same people behind Splash Plastic, I got mine online via the Virgin Money website. At present this is the only way to obtain a card. I completed the simple registration online and paid with my regular debit card on October 1st and the £9.95 set-up fee was collected the same day, shortly afterwards I received an Email to let me know that my order had been processed and that they would send another when the card was on the way. Those who do not have a debit card or do not wish to ...

Review of 360Money

360Money has made a SPLASH in my life

Advantages: Cool looking, easy to use, useable in most places and debt free
Disadvantages: Monthly/per use charges and no Chip&PIN

***** UPDATE ADDED AT THE BOTTOM ***** 360Money, for those of you who may not know, is the replacement for Splash Plastic cards. While the card does say "Splash Plastic" on it -- it's really called 360Money now. This card is what you could call a "prepaid debit card" but there is NO bank account attached to the card. It's like a mobile/cell phone where-by you can only spend what you have topped up onto the card. For example, if I topped up £50 then I could only spend £50. However there are charges involved. With the old Splash Plastic card, you only paid to apply for the card and then that was it but with this card you pay differently. There are actually three types of cards; - A Pay As You Go card - A Pay Monthly card - A Premium Card ~ Pay As You Go ~ This card costs £6.99p to apply then £6.99p annually plus £0 ...
