If it is carrying the Mastercard logo then there is no reason why not (as with any card to is down to the provider to ensure it is link up with overseas systems but the whole idea is that it is a travel card. The only thing to remember is that it is not a credit limit so the whole amount may well be taken and then refunded. I know that is what happens when I take debit card deposits in the UK.

Do you think I could use my Thomas Cook issued prepaid Mastercard, can't see any objections with this myself? So long as I have the $500 to lock
Also, for flight tickets we don't get these until arrival at airport (US Airways) but we will have flight confirmation sheets with the itinerary stated is this enough?
