I got one of these o2 cards as its free, considering i only use it now and again just to do my shopping online at tescos it isn’t bad
free to use and top up and withraw cash, its free because you have to be with o2 and if you leave you lose the card, very good retention methods from o2
great way to keep customer retention and the card design is not as cheesy as some of the others out there
Ok!! I signed up for a load and go last month on June 15th and I still haven’t received my O2 card? How long does it take someone please tell me because I am worried that someone has taken it.
The load and go card does not work on paypal, I had my old debit card registered on paypal and removed that as it had passed it’s expiry date and then I added my O2 cash money card details which it accepted and took £1 from it which I still haven’t got back yet
I assumed the o2 cash manager card one works with paypal as others have said it does. Load & go seems to be the one that does not get accepted.
