Why did you not just get a normal credit card?

What pre-paid card did you get?
I used to use a Virgin pre-paid one, was quite good and you could look at your transactions online.
I got a proper credit card since then though so don't use it any more.

You can pre-pay on a normal credit card and then you don't have to pay any fees

Not always, I can't on my barclaycard, paying off in full every months achieves the same thing though.

I cant put a positive ballence on my Mastercard its something I'd like to be able to do as I only use it for online payments and pay it off every month anyway.

There's one that's recommended on the Martin Lewis money site which improves your credit rating when you use it, I was tempted with it at one point, but turns out I just can't get a phone contract, mortgage is fine, got one of them, but no phone contract. Stupid O2 (and me) from 7 years ago!

It's not O2 it's called the Cashplus Creditbuilder.

They have astro-APR. I'd make sure you pay that off each month.
You shouldn't really apply for a few at a time either, it all gets logged down.

If you get rejected for all three your credit rating will take a hit. Should only really apply for credit once a month!
