I've bought a couple of things using my Visa Electron card on websites that don't say they accept Electron. I selected the standard Visa option, and the orders were accepted. I don't know if it'll happen on every website, but HMV and M & S have been ok.

Hey Skip
That is good to know. Dont forget the 5th to call them and if you want one get the Visa Debit card.

Hi GT
As a discharged BR, skip can contact the Coop and apply to upgrade her Electron card to a Visa Debit card as they have a change in there terms and conditions then.
Nothing too exciting. LOL

Do Barclays give you online banking now? They didn't when I looked at opening an account with them, and that was what put me off.

Yup, I bought the DUMBO dvd on HMV a couple of weeks ago. I have also managed to pay for things over the phone with it too. The only place that I cant use it is onboard the aircraft!

| Surely that is only a technicality? Yes, the t&c's might say that a visa electron card can be upgraded to a visa debit card for a discharged bankrupt but I would be amazed if the application for one is not turned down due to the inevitable credit reference check. |

That was the information Jo was given when she phoned up.
We'll have to see what happens when I phone the Co-op! To be honest, now that I know that places seem to accept Visa Electron even when they don't say so I'm not too worried whether they upgrade my cards or not.

hey guys
I called the coop and they said to just give them a call after that date and they would say yes or no to being able to upgrade, they said its not guaranteed but it is a new thing that they are offering with the basic cashminder accounts now.
LOL

Thinking about it, I might actually leave it until the New Year after I've checked my credit files again to make sure my creditors have updated my files.
