    Hi All, Sorry if this has been asked a million times, but anyone know if there's anywhere I can get MS points online with a laser card. I know I can order them by post from gamestop, but is there anywhere I can get them emailed to me almost straight away at this hour?

    Thanks!!

    Thought a saw something on gamestops facebook a week or so ago saying they were now emailing codes too.

    As an aside, I was in HMV yesterday they had 4200 for 39.99 which given exchange rates at the moment was no more than 2 or 3 euro more than what I paid from one of the sites during the week,

    You know BOI are now issuing Visa Debit cards as a replacement for Laser Cards? Ring them up and they should be able to sort you out.

    They are ment to have all Laser replaced by Visa Debit by the end of September. If you ask for a replacement early they charge you a €5 fee, but if you don't ask and just wait it's free. Laser is supposed to be deactivated completely by the years end.

    Don't know why BOI are taking so long. TSB issued me with Visa Debit almost 2 yrs ago now.

    The BOI cards have NFC tech inside them , and they need to be produced for each customer in the UK.

    Got my visa debt card from BOI about 3 weeks ago , I didn't even ask for one so I assume they are in the process of rolling them out, very handy.

    All banks are rolling them as a replacement to Laser. Depends on your bank as to when you get one.

    As someone said above I got one off permanent TSB yonks ago.
