    Hello I am thinking of getting one of these pre-paid credit cards but not sure which is cheaper and best.

    The O2 money Visa card
    http://www.o2online.ie/o2/o2-money/

    or

    The Swirl Master card
    http://www.swirlcard.com/

    I'm wanting a card as I am going to be travelling a lot next year so I need something that would work in europe easy and care free. i will be using it regularly on flight, accommodation and other things on travel like food and admission. I want something that doesn't have too many charges and something I could top up while I'm in these other countries.

    help is grateful :)

    If there is any other cards out there that im not aware of i'd like to here info.

    You're better off getting a Visa Debit card than a prepaid card.

    You may have less rights for fraudulent use of prepaid cards and charges can be much higher.

    If you're currently working and able to get a credit card, I'd suggest doing so.
