Are you able to...

[Rahul.]

Are you able to buy prepaid gift cards (e.g.visa or similar) in stores in the UK? In america i know you can in walgreens or whatever, but how about in the UK?

Google is your friend here. I did a quick search, and it seems like you can find them there.

I have searched on google. Couldn't find any that you could buy in stores.

EDIT: Well I did, but they were posts from like 2013.

Unless you actually need a physical card, there are plenty of websites where you can get virtual prepaid cards. Some of them are even completely free and only charge when you put money on it or something like that. Done this myself a few times and works perfectly fine.

In other words, you want a credit card that can't be traced back to you. Most likely because you're underage or something like that.

Anyway, from what I could find on the internet is that the UK no longer sells working prepaid credit cards in stores to prevent exactly that. Underage people getting their hands on a credit card could potentially give them access to inappropiate websites and / or products for their age. There are still some stores that sell prepaid credit cards, but they must be registered and charged online to prevent abuse.

Try the currency conversion forum (most places accept PayPal, myself included) or LocalBitcoins.

Go to Walmart, they can exchange cash for a prepaid card or give you a prepaid card for PayPal.

BTC peeps don't accept prepaid btw, either with cash.

I'm not really sure, to be honest. I don't live in the UK (although I have been there a couple times).

Yes they do, but I believe that ASDA don't sell prepaids.

Well er... those are gift cards, but it isn't exactly like you can spend it in other shops.

Yeah, I'm not saying to buy those but if those exist it's possible that they'll have ones for other stores. Never been to ASDA so this is just a guess, of course
