The Ministry of Sound Prepaid Card
|
Which Prepaid? Summary Date Reviewed: March 2007 
What's Good Love music? This card is for you! The Ministry of Sound prepaid card is currently only available to over 18s, but Ministry of Sound are planning to have a card available to over 13s sometime this year. And to keep you music lovers happy, Ministry of Sound also offer a free MP3 download with every 10 transactions on your card! The Chip & PIN activated Ministry of Sound prepay card runs on the Maestro network, and can be used at over 7 million locations worldwide. It also has low reload fees – with reloads at the Post Office costing just £1. Of course, you can also top up online using a credit or debit card, or using cash at one of 15,000 PayPoint locations around the UK. What's not so good? The initial issue fee for the card is slightly higher than others available at £9.99 for a standard design, or £19.99 for a customised card. The foreign transaction charge of 3% makes this card quite expensive for use abroad. |
