I write this article because in internet I use a rechargeable card.

In Italy until recently there were no easy solutions to take advantage of rechargeable credit cards.

Most rechargeable credit cards have defects not indifferent:

1- Some need to go recharge at ATMs

2-Some have predefined amounts charging

3- Some have not read transaction easy, not always available and some is not even online!

4- Some have the VISAELECTRON circuit that works only at certain times (from 23:30 (approx) to 6:00 (approx) turn off the server) and if you are abroad with a time

different from that of Europe do not work!
