Advantages: It only lets you spend what you have

Disadvantages: A lot of stores dont take it

I made a concious decision not to apply for a solo card. Two of my close friends have them and it seems to cause them nothing but trouble.

I work in a fuel station, and we do not accept Solo cards, so I suppose I am alittle biased. But when my friends want something, we queue up at a supermarket checkout or in a petrol station, and when we get there its: 'Sorry madame, we dont take Solo cards'. So that means that after being stood for ages, we have three options:

1. I pay for it instead.
2. We go to a cash point and then rejoin the queue.
3. We go elsewhere and go through the same thing again.

Dont get me wrong the card does have its merits, and i really wish we did take Solo as it would make my job an awful lot easier. But we dont, and niether do a lot of other stores.
