luke_clifton Posted April 30, 2007 Posted April 30, 2007 anyone here got a visa electron, i recently got a new bank account.... and they gave me a damn visa electron card..... cannot use it in many online shops. Just tried to renew my membership but world pay can't accept electron. The most useless card in the world, for the last few months i've had to borrow other peoples cards to buy things online. Really getting annoying now.
Nudge Posted April 30, 2007 Posted April 30, 2007 I also have a Visa Electron, with Halifax, used to have a Solo card but they changed it to Visa two years ago and i have had simular problems, but more are coming round to it, i have purchaced quite a few things online, car bits, tickets, etc, with it now but your right mate most dont and it is a pain, i just use me paypal account for online purchacing. Its the banks way of takin the p*** out of us.
Guest leebo77 Posted April 30, 2007 Posted April 30, 2007 Ahh yes, a good tip, if a little too late, is that when you are opening an account - make sure that they will give you a Visa Debit card, not elcetron or Solo as they are not so widely accepted.
wedmonds1 Posted April 30, 2007 Posted April 30, 2007 I used to have one of those and i am sure i could use it online. I put it through as Visa i think????? May be mistaken though.

A way to get around paying for membership is this way:- If you have a pay pal account through ebay then add your card details as a secondary card in the add credit card section. Then you can send the payment via pay pal to sidc using the shop - did this only 2 weeks ago! If you dont have a paypal account sign up for one as its worth it just to be able to pay for stuff using the paypal option - we buy alot via this way and we have halifax visa electron as well
