I have a question for all the Brits having fits. Has anyone tried to use a rechargeable card? You know the ones you buy, pay the interest up front, and associate online. Is that not a thing over in Britain, because they sell them over here, and they're like real credit cards.

You can even go online, and enter your details. Like your name, your birthday, your address. To me it sounds like that would pass muster. Just put some money into one, register your details online, and then use it for the verification.

Just keep a few pounds on the card, and it will be valid for several years. Has anyone tried this out yet, because the bellyaching might be for nothing. If all you need is to walk down to the local corner store, and spend five minutes online registering the card.

They're not like classic credit cards. You pay a surcharge up front, and then never again unless you want to recharge it later. This is what I like to use when I don't want to give someone my debit card number. Anyway has anyone tried this?
