Wanted to spend it on mods for my car, so wanted to free up the cash so I can buy stuff from people on forums and generally pay people in cash for things like when people are selling stuff in classifieds on all sites and also when you got people selling stuff that you know liek friends and whatever, it's just restrictive at the minute.

I think this is why they give you a Maestro card.  :grin:
Just because you're offended doesn't make you right.

Could you transfer it in to a dreaded PayPal account?

They keep goods and most of the cash your way? :wink:

Buy some foreign currency on the card then take the cash back and swap it for sterling for free. Granted you'll lose a bit on exchange rates but you'll have cash in your pocket.
