The best pre-paid Card or alternative?

[JasonS]

Hey,

I'm looking to buy something from the states, but they ONLY take American cards. Being British, I only have my UK Bank Card.

What's the best pre-paid card or alternative to this solution?

Pre-paid Visa or AMEX?

You could always hook up a PayPal account and use those digital Master Cards they have now.

Cash is good. It's easier.

I'd recommend VISA.

You can get a PayPal card, but being PayPal, you know. Your funds might be frozen.
Personally I'd stick with travellegers cheques. Safe and insured.

You want to purchase via online ? The best choice may be Paypal the next are Alertpay, Moneybookers ( which works fine with UK cards)

I'm sure there should be some sort of pre-paid 'gift cards' at your local gas stations You can hook this up to paypal and use paypal to pay for it. Pew pew pew!

I'd go with what stuffradio said.

I don't know about England, but in the US you can find pre-paid VISA/AmEx gift cards out the --- at gas stations, Wal-Mart, grocery stores, etc.

Compromise foreign bank account information and have the items delivered to an abandoned address.

It's the only way.
