Ok, let me try and answer for you as best I can.

To offer to the kids, you need to buy the card (costs ?9.99 - but if you are one of the first 20 to buy when it goes live you get a pair of tickets to one of the pre-season games at home)

When you have the card you can get up to 3 companion cards, I think there is a charge of ?4.99 for the companion card.

Once you have them, you control the money on the card so it is loaded onto your card and you can move it to their card online and by text(instantly).

If you give them ?100 they can spend it in a number of ways (online, in a shop, ATM etc) which if on a pay as you go deal will incur a small fee for usage (66p in store or online, 99p for using an ATM. It is used in the same way as a credit card, but there is guaranteed approval and no credit check. All purchases are protected too
