Alternative to Entropay for UK users?

boondoggle · #1 11-09-2009

Anyone know of an alternative to entropay in case they stop the creation of new cards. Ive been stopped before but they relented and let me create more but im worried they could stop me again so I want another option. Is there anything else out there for UK users?

I second this request. Not worried about getting more, it's just their site is ridiculously slow. Usually takes 5mins to login these days, which I can deal with but then when I try to load money onto a card - just keeps failing - get that page that says 'entropay has enountered a problem' - does anyone else have this issue?

as we speak! the site is a lot slower than when I first started using it, plus its more difficult to check the card numbers, balance and statements with the site's new set-up. Moving money from one card to another is such a pain- I made 4 cards on monday, took over 30 minutes, and it takes days for the expuse numbers to show up on the statements- with other cards its instant, or at least the same day.

^^^^Thought it was just me. There are alternatives v3-vouchers or summat. They cost more

Ive been buying some online from resellers for a decent price- only works out an extra couple of quid and is actually quicker than doing it yourself via entropay. The guy users Netsafe cards from HDFC Indian bank- would love to open an account with them but its only for Indian nationals or residents.

It is indeed slow... I rang them up the other day and the said they had had a mass of referels from www.aspkin.com and that these users were overwhelming the servers creating multiple cards left, right and center.

lets not abuse entropay or we will lose it....

Sorry, too late.
Hence the OP- I think ts only a matter of time before Entropay start giving excessive card creators the boot. Let's hope not 'cos they are still the best for UK users

From their FAQ:

# Can online merchants track down my details?

No. Online merchants charge your card, based only on card number, 3-digit code and expiration date. They are not able to use the AnonyCard to access any further information about you.

# Can I transfer funds from one AnonyCard Virtual Visa Card to another?

No, currently we do not offer this future

And it's one account per person.

NEW!! Add Funds by PayPal
11/7/2009

We have introduced a new method to add fund to your AnonyCard account, there are 3% fees for add fund by PayPal. All you need to do is become a 100% verified member, and use PayPal to add fund to your account. You will receive the fund immediately in your AnonyCard Account.

YES it is one ANONYCARD account per person, but you can crete an unlimited amount of VCCs within your account.

When you have used the card, if there are still funds on it, you destroy the card and the funds are returned to your main account balance, and you can create a new card.

I should complete my account verification today, so I will test the card and get back to everyone with more info.

Can the card be used to verify the small payment that paypal puts into new accounts?

No, this is a card. For that you need a bank account. But it verifies credit card with the expuse code. I have added the card to paypal and will update you in the next few days when I receive the expuse code

Hi Guys. I just verified the card on paypal and ebay and confirm it is working 100%.

Moneybookers does not accept the card though for verification, so no luck there. But paypal and ebay 100% working.

The site is http://www.anonycard.com

They are going to be issuing reloadable VISA VCC soon, so possibly may be a way to withdraw from paypal. Once they have them available, I will test them and report if they can withdraw from paypal.

If they can, that will be VERY useful

bode · #20 02-13-2010

It won't be for free unfortunately, probably 3-5% of your withdrawl amount. £1000 = -£50 fee

Hi There.

I cannot confirm for sure, but I asked the anonycard staff and they said they have had a few users confirm amazon accounts with the card.

Please dont take my words here as solid gold, as I have not tried it myself, but so far with my dealings with their staff they have been very upront with me.

If you try it, please update us on whether it works for sure or not
