But why would anyone want a pre-payment card,

So you can pay for things.

especially if you can't get a refund

Spend the balance in the bar at the airport on the way home. Or even
after you get back home.

Oh I understand now

I thought the PP was referring to a pre-payment travel card (like the
visitor Oyster)

Does contactless work with pre-payment cards. I though the consensus
was that it didn't

I have two which do work. But I did have to search one of them out (the
other I had already).
