The service actually works! Albeit it's really slow to process your payment and takes some time for your payment to show up. However my payment cleared and all is good to go. I was REALLY skeptical from all the reviews, but everything panned out. Reason for 4 stars and not 5 is because the payment took almost 8 days to be seen and placed in my account.

I was really hesitant to try this service after reading all the negative reviews, but I gave it a go. It really didn't get off to a good start since I couldn't load the card. Late Sunday night I emailed customer service and early Monday morning I got a reply that my home country wasn't included at the moment. They did however ask if I have another address I another country, which I happen to have. After that they changed my location. Then I tried to load the card again, but messed up since I forgot to send the reference number with the payment (to a Dutch bank). I emailed customer service again and they manually contacted their Dutch partner bank and gave them the correct information. In one day we probably sent 20 emails back and forth. And they did all this only so I could put my €50 into the account. I only give them 4 stars since they didn't inform me about supported countries from the beginning, but they get 4 well deserved starts for a great customer support, that even helped me quickly and politely when I messed up the transfer myself. And now I finally have the US Amazon Prime Video membership, which was the whole point of this ordeal. I'm glad that I didn't give up.

I use it mostly to subscribe to streaming services. No problems so far and their support services have been helpful. Key is to fully understand how to use their facilities.

USUnlocked works as claimed. All the negative reviews are either people who don't understand how Prepaid VCCs work or cheapskates who don't understand that businesses need to charge service fees to keep running. They have a lifetime $15 membership fee, load fee $4.59, transaction fee $0.50 and voiding fee $1.00 (PayPal). Not all VCCs will work so you have to generate a new VCC and try it with the merchant. My first VCC didn't work and the second one did it. All in all, I am satisfied with the service. They have a user-friendly transparent dashboard which shows you all the transactions and charges. Funding the account takes 2 to 3 working days. USUnlocked is not a scam, it does work. But of course, the charges and fees may put you off if you expect a low-fee service.

It does work. I loaded my account with $65, I paid about $20 in fees. It took about 3 days to get it approved. Had to give my ID which was instantly approved, that part was easy. Waiting at least 3 days to get it all confirmed was the hard part. I was worried I was scammed, but it's not a scam. Customer service isn't bad, replies quite quickly and all in all it's a good service.
