I agree. Its a pain having to buy these Wallie cards (fixed denominations of GB Pounds 5/10/20/50 ) and then use them. All I wanted to do was buy a fixed amount of credits and pay direct from my bank account.
Using the "Wallie card" means I get hit with two exchange rate commisions. One to convert from GBP to the Euro and one form the Euro to US dollars.
If the
amount payable by User to Acceptor is expressed in a monetary unit
other than the Euro, Wallie shall, based on an exchange rate specified
on the Website, convert that amount to an amount in Euros and, provided
there is sufficient Balance, the thus converted amount will be debited
from the Balance.
You have to be a Wallie to use these cards!
