The Neon Prepaid Card is for teenagers between 13 and 17 years of age and is the latest pay as you go chip and PIN MasterCard. The Neon Card is a MasterCard that works just like a pay as you go mobile phone - you can only spend what you have topped up. Parents are assured that there is no danger of their teenagers going overdrawn and no danger of incurring fees.
The Neon Card can be purchased online or at the Phones 4u store chain. A parent or guardian must tick to agree the terms and conditions at Neon-Prepaid-Card.com
Why get a Phones 4 U pay as you go credit card?

What sort of service do they offer?
The Neon card offers parents the ability to educate their teens in modern money management. It teaches teenagers to live within their means. It keeps their money much safer than cash and allows spending online – where most teenage expenditure takes place. Teens want to be online for gigs, cinema tickets, music, games, travel etc and the Neon card means that they can buy without fees and not use parent's cards ever again.
The Neon card offers up to 20% cashback from over 1000 participating retail partners (like Nike.com, i-Tunes and Pizza Hut Delivery). With the Neon card you can top up your mobile phone, from your handset 24 hours a day for free AND GET CASHBACK EVERY TIME YOU DO IT. This is a great parental feature because there is now no excuse for teenagers to be out of contact with parents.
