Damn...I wish these companies would join the 21st century and allow out of country credit cards to be used to top up.....I just can't understand this insistance that the credit card be issued by a UK bank (enforced by requiring the postal code)....the amounts involved simply can't be that much so that fraud is a big issue...if it is, restrict use of non UK credit cards to 10 quid or something like that. It's an idiotic requirement which flies in the face of just what credit cards were set up to do i.e. to do away with problems of currency exchange and national borders for travellers.
