Advantages: Good Acceptance, Safe Spending, Available to under 16's
Disadvantages: Few outlets not accepting solo
I think Solo is a great debit card, I am 18 so I can have other cards but I am quite happy with my solo card because it's safe as you can't over-spend. I have a solo card issued from the Halifax and I have never been turned down due to it not be accepted, I have found that solo can be used in most pubs, restaurants, internet shops and loads of high street outlets. I use my card to top up my mobile phone credit, shop on the net and pay for goods in shops that cost like over £200 so I don't have to carry loads of cash. Solo is excellent and I recommand it to everyone. Natwest, HSBC and Halifax issue Solo cards. I have discovered shops like PC World, Whsmith, Debenhams, Homebase and Woolworths don't accept solo yet but they should take on that card scheme as soon as possible so they don't let customers down. Solo has never let me down!
Summary:

I have had a Solo debit card for just over a year and I must say I wish I'd have been given a Switch card from my bank. I'm thinking of changing it over myself because no matter where I go on the internet or in the shops I want to buy stuff they DO NOT take solo! I travel via train to Essex every second week in the month only I have to borrow my fiance's Switch card to book on Q Jump! Therefore I'm debitting his account and then having to withdraw money to pay him back! I wanted to open an account with Argos Additions and they wouldn't let me because I didn't have a Switch card...Just to clarify Woolworths, WH Smiths, Virgin Megastore, Debenhams, Boots, Peacocks, and countless other back street shops and hairdressers DO NOT TAKE SOLO!
